Congrats to Tanya! She’s been having a great few months with a Coast cover story, multiple award nominations at NSMW and now this. It’s nice to see when good things happen to/for good people.

Canada Music Week (CMW), Q104 and Music Nova Scotia are proud to announce that Tanya Davis is the regional winner of the National Songwriting Competition.

Davis’ song “The Gorgeous Morning” was one of over 200 submissions that poured in from across Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island last fall, and was declared the winner by a panel of established regional songwriters January 22.

“I am flattered because that songs means a lot to me,” says Davis. “The song is about quitting a job that wasn’t making me happy, and now [as a singer/songwriter] I am doing a job that makes me happy. I am excited that it was recognized.”

Davis’ prize package includes a Garrison AG-500 acoustic/electric guitar, a Sennheiser microphone package, a Carving leather guitar strap, and a one-year subscription of Canadian Musician Magazine. Davis also receives an all expenses paid weekend at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel Toronto and delegate passes to the Canadian Music Week Conference, where she will perform as part of CMW’s Songwriting Festival.
