Canadian Music Week is pleased to announce the winners for the 22nd Anniversary of the Jim Beam® INDIES which took place June 8, 2023 at History in Toronto.

This year marks the 155th anniversary of our nation and also the return to a live show in the capital after a few long years of pandemic restrictions!
