(JUNE
20, 2005) - The Canadian Country Music Association has announced
that internationally acclaimed singer, songwriter and performer
Paul Brandt will once again host the CCMA Awards this September.
The 2005 CCMA Awards will be held at Calgary's Pengrowth Saddledome
Monday September 12. CBC Television will broadcast the CCMA
Awards September 12 at 8 p.m. / 9 p.m. AT / 9:30 NT. Encore
broadcasts are scheduled on CMT in Canada.
2005 also marks the Centennial year for Alberta and what better
way to celebrate 100 years of achievement than with country's
most awarded Male Artist and one of Canada's most recognizable
stars - that province's own Paul Brandt. Brandt takes on the
hosting role for the 6th time, following up on last year's
sold out show. He has been awarded a Gemini for his hosting
role, and was recently chosen by the CMA (U.S. Country Music
Association) over more than a dozen candidates, to receive
their international "Global Country Artist Award"
for 2005.
"This
year is an incredibly special year to be hosting the Canadian
Country Music Awards" said Brandt. "It's Alberta's
Centennial year. This is a homecoming; it's a birthday bash;
and being in the heart of cowboy country, it's going to be
a big 'ol hoedown. Hang on to your hats, the 2005 CCMA Awards
will be a party to remember."
The 2005 CCMA Awards, will take place at Pengrowth Saddledome
