LeBlanc is Up For Country Recording of the Year & Artist Innovator of the Year.\n\nMulti-award winning Canadian country singer\/songwriter Laurie LeBlanc has received two nominations for the 2021 East Coast Music Awards: Artist Innovator of the Year, and Country Recording of the Year.\n \nThe nod for Country Recording of the Year celebrates the Bouctouche, New Brunswick-based artist\u2019s second all-English release to date, 2020\u2019s When It\u2019s Right It\u2019s Right \u2014 available now!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was very happy to receive my first two ECMA nominations,\u201d LeBlanc shares of hearing the news. \u201cThe ECMA\u2019s actually played a role in my feeling inspired to record an English album: I received an ECMA showcase in 2017 for my French album, Couleurs, and it created a lot of interest from English-language members of the industry. That sort of started me thinking\u2026\n \n\u201cAfter all, When It\u2019s Right It\u2019s Right!\u201d\n \nBest known for his enveloping, all-encompassing east coast Acadian sounds, When It\u2019s Right It\u2019s Right features 10 original songs, each co-written with some of Nashville\u2019s top songsmiths; it was produced by multi-Canadian Country Music Award-winner Jason Barry, and features members of Dean Brody\u2019s touring band. \n \n\u201cThis album has a little bit of everything I like,\u201d LeBlanc says. \u201cThere\u2019s up-tempo, fun stuff, happy love stories, and even some country rock in there, too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Artist Innovator of the Year signals the unique accomplishments and contribution to the Atlantic Canadian music industry through innovation and creativity in light of COVID-19.\n \nWith When It\u2019s Right It\u2019s Right adding to his almost 4 million streams, previous albums include Couleurs (2018), 20 (2015), No\u00ebl de la Pitoune (2014), Noir et Blanc (2012), La Pitoune (2010), and his initial all-English release, Influences (2013).\n \nThis month\u2019s two ECMA nominations add to LeBlanc\u2019s SOCAN Songwriter of the Year, Josie Music Awards Male Country Artist of the Year, and last year\u2019s Prix Excellence P\u00e8re Cl\u00e9ment-Cormier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
