London set to host CMAO awards 2018 for the second year running

For the second year in a row, the Country Music Association of Ontario’s award show will be hosted by London.

London was announced as the host city Monday following a highly successful event last year, where Bowmanville’s Meghan Patrick stole headlines, winning album of the year for Grace and Grit, female artist of the year and the rising star award.

“After the tremendous response from the London community, we are proud to bring the CMAOntario Awards Show back to London for 2018 in partnership with Tourism London,” said Cathie Faint, president of CMAOntario.

Jason McCoy will be returning to host the awards show, set to go June 3rd, 2018.
