    Throughout history, art rejoices and revels in the wisdom of women. Within a deck of tarot cards, the High Priestess serves as the guardian of the unconscious. In Greek mythology, the old oracles celebrate the Mother Goddess. William Shakespeare posited portentous prescience in the form of MacBeth’s “Three Witches.” On their sixth full-length album Ritual, In This Moment—Maria Brink [vocals, piano], Chris Howorth [lead guitar], Travis Johnson [bass], Randy Weitzel [rhythm guitar], and Kent Diimel [drums]—unearth a furious and focused feminine fire from a cauldron of jagged heavy metal, hypnotic alternative, and smoky voodoo blues. It’s an evolution. It’s a statement. It’s In This Moment 2017… “It’s like we’re going into the next realm,” asserts Maria. “I had a conviction of feeling empowered in my life and with myself. I always write from a personal place, and I needed to share that sense of strength. I’ve never been afraid to hold back. Sometimes, I can be very suggestive. However, I wanted to show our fans that this is the most powerful side of myself and it’s without overt sexuality. It’s that deeper serious fire inside of my heart.” “What Maria is saying comes from deep inside,” Chris affirms. “This time, we had a bunch of ideas started before we hit the studio. There was a really clear direction. It’s different.” The group spent two years supporting their biggest album yet 2014’s Black Widow. Upon release, it seized their highest position to date on the Billboard Top 200, bowing at #8.

  • CMAO Awards Host: Jason Mccoy
    CMAO Awards Host: Jason McCoy We are here, ladies and gentlemen: our third annual awards show. With our inaugural conference (The Road to Independence) having been executed no less than 8 months ago, we decided to merge the conference and awards show to make them one large event. The merger was actually ignited by suggestions from members. It has taken a great deal of effort in a short amount of time to put this year’s show and conference together. We are grateful to the commitment and passion of the country music community that continue to assist our organization in Making Ontario Country Music Matter. I would like to thank Slaight Music for their continued support. Not only was Slaight Music generous, but they were there throughout the planning process, providing solutions and contributing people to serve on our committees. The Canadian music scene is extremely fortunate to have such an incredible organization - one that genuinely gives back to the community. We are also grateful for the support of the Ontario Media Development Corporation and the Ontario Music Fund. The Ontario Music Fund has moved the organization light years ahead and has allowed us to provide a tremendous amount of service to our members and the country music community. Congratulations to all the nominees! The Board of Directors of the CMAO believes that a nomination by your peers is an acknowledgement of your craft and talent that should not be taken lightly. I’m truly moved and impressed by the amount of hard work, initiative and risk many of you take to try to make it in this tough-as-nails industry.
