My friend Jennifer Jade Kerr (JJK) has just received the Saskatchewan Country Music Award (SCMA) for Country Gospel Album of the year (see the SCMA website for details). Moreover, she was further nominated for overall Album of the year. For those of you outside Saskatchewan, you might remember Jen as one of the members of the CREW Ministries team Saltwater. For those nearer the Queen City (Regina), you may recall her placing twice in the CKRM Big Country Talent Show, as well as taking the regional prize for the Radiostar National Songwriting Competition which subsequently brought her to Toronto to play during Canadian Music Week. While born and raised in Saskatchewan, Jennifer is currently living in Kelowna, BC where she is serving in youth ministry at an LCC church.

Her debut album “Somehow it Always Does” was released in September 2008. To check out her music a little more fully, to read her bio, or to order an album stop by her website. JJK will be playing a show at the Ramada Hotel and Conference Centre in Regina Tuesday night (April 28, 2009) from 8:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Admission is by donation.
