The Canadian Grammys called JUNO Awards were presented in 35 categories last weekend. Featuring performances by Alessia Cara, Bryan Adams, Buffy Sainte-Marie, The Carpet Frogs, Coleman Hell, Dean Brody, Dear Rouge, Jann Arden, LIGHTS, Scott Helman, Shawn Hook, Shawn Mendes, The Tenors, The Weeknd and Whitehorse.
As the first award in this series that uses WordPress itself there’s just no way around covering it. On top of that big winner The Weeknd, who took home 5 Juno Awards, uses the popular CMS as well. You can find the full list of winners on the JUNO’s website: Complete list of JUNO Award Winners 2016
