CBC Radio 3 to Broadcast Polaris Music Prize Gala Live

Tonight is the night for a celebration of creative and diverse Canadian recorded music at the Polaris Music Prize Gala. In just a short while, one album will be awarded the 2012 Polaris Music Prize, as determined by a grand jury comprised of music broadcasters, journalists and bloggers (you know, those in the biz).


Vying for the prestigious award are shortlisted albums:


Hope in Dirt City by Cadence Weapon 
I Predict a Graceful Expulsion by Cold Specks 
Take Care by Drake
Voyageur by Kathleen Edwards 
Metals by Feist
David Comes to Life by F--ked Up 
Visions by Grimes 
Sound Kapital by Handsome Furs 
Celebration Rock by Japandroids 
YT // ST by Yamantaka // Sonic Titan


Slated to co-host the night's event is CBC Radio's Grant Lawrence, and bringing it to you live on CBC Radio 3 is the one and only Craig Norris.
