Ten Canadian musicians and bands will compete for the Polaris Music Prize tonight.
The $50,000 award for the year's best Canadian album will be handed out during a concert event held at Toronto's Massey Hall.
Rounding out the list is British Columbia native Dan Mangan, Toronto rock band the Sadies, B.C. hip hop duo Snotty Nose Rez Kids and Prince Edward Island indie pop band Alvvays. This year's Polaris nominees are eclectic, as always, spanning sounds and artists that lean toward both the mainstream and the underground.
Nigerian-Canadian genre-bender Debby Friday incorporated her past industrial sound with a more soulful touch on her debut full-length record "Good Luck," while Haitian-Canadian artist Gayance landed on the list for her electronic-influenced album "Mascarade."
