The timing was perfect for Sarnia’s newest music festival.

Leading the way was Saturday headliner Brett Kissel, who earned nods for male artist, video, single, interactive artist and songwriter of the year.

The festival also boasts three of the five artists nominated for the CCMA rising star award — The James Barker Band, Aaron Goodvin and Dan Davidson.
