TORONTO, ON (June 2023) – Canadian Music Week (CMW) and the Canadian Live Music Association (CLMA) are happy to announce the recipients of the 2023 Canadian Live Music Industry Awards (CLMIAs).

This year marks the 7th edition of the CLMIAs, a night of celebration and recognition bringing together the Canadians behind live music. In her annual address, President & CEO of the CLMA Erin Benjamin acknowledged the return of live and its profound impact on Canadians and their communities:

”Canada’s live music sector has been enthusiastically making up for lost time, finally–and officially–crossing the finish line of the pandemic. The resilience of our nominees, recipients, and the industry at large has set the stage for the brightest of futures, and the CLMA remains hard at work conveying the value our members bring to the quality of life of all Canadians. We’re proud of our incredible industry; you continue to inspire so many with your determination and tenacity in the service of artists and fans across the country and around the world. Congratulations to all.”
