NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Critically acclaimed singer/songwriter Tenille Townes won two trophies at the Canadian Country Music Association Awards Monday night, including her third consecutive Female Artist of the Year title.
In addition to Female Artist, Townes also won Ford F-150 Album of the Year for her celebrated debut release The Lemonade Stand, which features her Gold-certified debut single “Somebody’s Daughter” and follow-up “Jersey on the Wall (I’m Just Asking),” which both topped Canadian country airplay charts. The album was met with widespread critical praise, with Rolling Stone observing “it’s ultimately hopeful, empathetic, and supremely welcome at a moment when it’s easy to start feeling like everything looks pretty bleak” and Paste declaring “The Lemonade Stand is a good country album just about any way you spin it…Tenille Townes has the talent and energy that turns country singers into country stars.” The LP was also named Country Album of the Year at the 2021 Juno Awards.
Townes will embark on her headlining GIRL WHO DIDN’T CARE TOUR throughout her native Canada Thursday (12/2) in London, Ontario with stops in Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, and more. She’s also set for her first ever U.S. headlining tour with the VILLAIN IN ME TOUR getting underway Jan. 19 in Cambridge, MA. Her new holiday EP, Songs for Christmas, is also available now and features two original tracks, as well as Townes’ take on “The Christmas Song” and Willie Nelson’s “Pretty Paper.” Listen here.
