2014 | Roots & Traditional Album of the Year: Group | The Devin Cuddy Band | | The JUNO Awards

In a musical landscape dominated by auto tune, synthesized replications of instruments, and regurgitated songs of the 70’s, you won’t find an artist of Devin Cuddy’s stature resting on the popular tenants of today’s sad musical mosaic. Like bourbon and cherries in a perfectly mixed Manhattan, Devin’s music has a style all its own, one that shouldn’t work…but somehow does. His unique brand of roots and jazz effortlessly marries the two musical ideals with a distinctive element of Canadiana so eloquently, it leaves one wondering…why has no one done this before? In Toronto’s growing pseudo-Country scene Devin’s new take on the genre pushes the limits of what people think they want to dance to on a Saturday night.
