The spirit and success of independent music is stronger and louder than ever. Hundreds of artists, who don't fit in with the ever-narrowing radio formats, are none-the-less breaking through to a hungry public and winning the support of fans, media and tastemakers across the nation. These artists will be honoured at the Canadian Music Week Festival (CMW) with the public presentation of the 7th Annual Independent Music Awards show, simply titled "The Indies".
Presented by inDiscover.net, The Indies will officially kick off CMW 2007 on Wednesday March
7, 2007.
