Josh Ross has taken home the award for entertainer of the year at this year’s Canadian Country Music Association Awards.
Ross appears to have caught lightning in a bottle, as he was awarded the same honour last year.
Ross told the audience in Kelowna, B.C. that it was “incredible” to win what he described as “the most meaningful award” for him.
The former college football player turned country star has also won single of the year for his track “Single Again,” a serenading record of unrequited love that has seen international success.
Hailing from Nanaimo, B.C., Whitcomb also took home a second award, winning the coveted fans’ choice trophy.
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan will host Country Music Week 2026 and the 2026 CCMA Awards.
