Jim's Juno Weekend
This has been one busy weekend for Jim. Like many of the country's top musicians, he spent it in Saskatoon, SK, attending Juno Award festivities. Jim was nominated for two awards - Adult Alternative Album of the Year and Single of the Year for "Pull Me Through." On Friday evening he picked up the award for Adult Alternative Album of the Year, beating such tough competition as Neil Young and Ron Sexsmith. Winning this award almost made up for the fact that on Saturday, the Jim-led Rockers hockey team lost 11-9 to the NHL Greats. Check out more details on that game here.
The following day Jim thrilled fans by performing at the Songwriters Circle. Then that evening was the telecast of the Juno Awards.
