Along the way, she’s racked up the awards: eight Junos, 10 SOCAN Awards, four Western Canadian Music Awards, a Much Music Video Award, three Prairie Music Awards, an Alberta Recording Industry Association Award and a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame, for starters.
Her most recent album, Everything Almost – the album she’s touring in support of - climbed as high as No. 2 on the Canadian Billboard Chart, powered by its lead single You Love Me Back.
