CODIE PREVOST DRAWS SPECIAL ATTENTION AT THE CANADIAN
COUNTRY MUSIC ASSOCIATION AWARDS
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan (September 12, 2012) This past weekend’s Canadian
Country Music Association Awards drew massive attention from country music fans
all over North America. Indie music artist Codie Prevost, who grew up on a farm
near Archerwill, Saskatchewan, not only had the honor of being nominated for
Rising Star at the awards show for a second year running, but he was also
selected to be that one special star to arrive on the event’s green carpet in a
very unique way -- aboard a John Deere 9410R Tractor. John Deere, which is
celebrating its 175th anniversary, was the green carpet sponsor of this year's
awards program.
“This
has been such a fun evening. I am so honored to be nominated for the ‘Rising
Star’ award two years in a row. I have an amazing team, dedicated fans and am
truly grateful for all the opportunities that have come my way. I’m a country
boy through and through, and country music is such a big part of who I am”, says
Prevost, enjoying the festivities at a CCMA after party.
Four
time Saskatchewan Country Music Association Awards “Entertainer of the Year”
winner Codie
Prevost, isn’t entirely new to the industry. His success thus far has seen
him opening shows for the Oakridge Boys, Joe Nichols and Emerson Drive. He was
invited to perform in Tours, France as part of the 2011 Country Rock Bike
Festival and has been featured on ET Canada (YouTube). In 2011, with
nearly 7,000 votes in his name, he won the 2011 CCMA Fanfest Contest which gave
him the opportunity to perform at the 2011 CCMA FanFest in Hamilton alongside
Terri Clark and Michelle Wright. Codie has performed the main stage at major
country music festivals including Dauphin Countryfest, Craven Country Jamboree,
VIEX and the Havelock Country Jamboree. At these events, he performed alongside
such names as Reba, Kenny Chesney, Gretchen Wilson and Kevin
Costner.
According to Jim Reynolds, Operation Manager at NL Broadcasting Ltd., Codie
Prevost has many fans – all of whom love his music and his high-energy live
performances. "Codie Prevost and his band hit it out of the park at Country
103's 2012 Summer Thunder concert in Kamloops! He really appreciates the love of
his fans. His interaction with the fans before and after the concert proves
that”, he says.
