A Langley country music star has once again been nominated for multiple Canadian Country Music Association awards (CCMA).
Award-winning musician and Langley’s very own Dallas Smith could be this year’s Entertainer of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, and Amazon Music and Alexa Fans’ Choice.
In addition, his work with Stephano Barberis has also received nominations. Their video, Best of Me got Barberis nominated for the Video Director of the Year award.
The 44-year-old musician was the big winner at the 2021 CCMA award show held in Calgary, bringing home four trophies – Entertainer of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, Top-Selling Canadian Album, and Single of the Year. It was his third straight year winning the top entertainment title.
