The Irreverent Ms. Pegi Wins An Award

By FYI Staff

On Friday, June 4, Pegi Cecconi was awarded the 2020 Walt Grealis Special Achievement Award from the Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) for her ongoing contributions and dedication to the Canadian music industry. Some might call her an acquired taste, others the loudest mouth in the room, but she’s become an icon for women in the music business. One tough broad, in the parlance of Mickey Spillane, and a well-versed freedom fighter who has earned her mark with valour, and noted for her achievements that have always placed her client’s best interests first.

On the Billboard Canadian Albums chart dated July 5, L'amerique Pleure, the concert film soundtrack by Quebec rock band Les Cowboys Fringants, reemerges at No. 97. Loosely translating to “America cries,” the soundtrack’s name comes from a track on the group’s 2019 album, Les Antipodes.
