The CMAA’s held a songwriter’s circle on Sunday morning before the awards show itself, where artists like The Goddamsels were able to share songs personal to them and explain their journey’s from playing small shows to playing at the CMAA’s.
Chipman went on about how busy they were throughout the weekend leading up to the songwriter’s circle, while also having a lot of fun with it all.

Both Chipman and MacDougall have been playing together for a number of years, even with the distance between the two. They are both honored to play with and inspired by all the other artists at the CMAA’s this year.
