A former Estevan resident is in contention for a prestigious national music award.
Joel Henderson, who performs under the name Poor Nameless Boy, was informed last week that he was a finalist for a Canadian Songwriting Competition Award in the electronic category.
He now resides in Regina.
Henderson collaborated with two Danish musicians, Vinze and David West, as well as Gianluigi Fazio of Italy to write the song Damage. It was performed by Vinze, featuring Poor Nameless Boy.
The song was recorded while Henderson was on a European music tour in the spring of 2017.
Henderson has released two EPs and a full-length album in his music career. All three have been in the folk genre, so a nomination in electronic marked quite a change.
This week's edition of Southeast Lifestyles will have more on this story.
