The new names added this week are BC-based artists Diana Krall, Shawn Hook, and DJ Felix Cartal (a double nominee this year), plus Nunavut indie roots band The Jerry Cans.

To nobody's surprise, it has also been confirmed that former Barenaked Ladies singer and co-founder Steven Page will rejoin his comrades for a one-time only reunion, to celebrate their induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. BNL keyboardist Kevin Hearn will also team up with Sarah Harmer and Dallas Green (City and Colour) in this year’s tribute to Gord Downie.
