Just this past weekend in Calgary, Citadel House Representative, Bonny Stairs, was attending the Canadian Folk Music Awards where two (!!) Citadel House artist groups had been nominated for a CFMA, both in the Young Performer(s) of the Year category. Nerves were high on Friday night as friends and family tuned in from Newfoundland on the CFMA official live stream, while they all waited to hear who would be this year's recipient of the award. A group chat of members from the Citadel House team and the nominees was full of encouragement for each artist group, and support for all while we waited.
When Earle and Coffin's name was read aloud as the winner this year, the group chat exploded with kind words and excitement.
The teamwork and camaraderie among the Citadel House "family" was very much felt that evening, and we are proud to see Earle and Coffin win this award.
