Hamilton-born Ben Caplan made his birth city proud by winning the Entertainer of the Year honours at the Novia Scotia Music Awards. This was the only award voted on by the public. The singer/songwriter was also nominated in 6 other categories: Male Artist Recording, Digital Artist, Recording, New Artist, and Songwriter.
To top things off, Ben also knocked 'em dead with a live performance at the Awards Gala on Sunday November 11.
This was all on the strength of his wonderful latest release in the time of great remembering (with the Casual Smokers).
Ben's immense pride was evident on his blog post: "What an amazing time to come home to Nova Scotia! I received the best welcome imaginable at Nova Scotia Music Week, and I’m extremely honoured and thankful to everyone who voted for me for Entertainer of the Year — I have some of the best fans and supporters a musician could ask for! I’m beside myself with joy and gratitude, so thank you and cheers to you all!"
CONGRATULATIONS!
