A Dresden singer is set to be featured during a special event being held during Canadian Country Music Week.
Jacklyn Wills, 15, will be performing at the Diamonds in the Rough showcase, which is being held at the Delta Hotels Marriott London Armouries from September 8 to 11, as part of the Canadian Country Music Association annual festivities.
Wills is slated to perform on the opening day on Thursday, between 3:45 p.m. and 4:45 p.m.
Chatham’s Brooklyn Roebuck will perform at the same event on Saturday afternoon, and Bothwell’s Jay Allan will perform on Saturday night.
The Diamonds in the Rough showcase is a part of Country Music Week, which began in 1977 as an annual event created to heighten awareness and increase exposure for Canada’s country music artists.
Today, Country Music Week is made up of three components: a music festival, which includes a Songwriters’ Series, talent showcases, a full-day FanFest, a Legends Show that pays tribute to Canada’s most cherished country artists and a cabaret party where country fans can let loose; the CCMA Awards Show, which is a two-hour live, television special highlighting a year in country music; as well as an industry conference which allows the Canadian country music industry to honour those working behind the scenes via educational workshops and seminars, networking receptions, awards ceremonies and more.
Country Music Week 2016 is being held in London.
