The Wilkinsons

Belleville, Ontario's Steve, Amanda, and Tyler Wilkinson have enjoyed tremendous success since the release of their first single, "26 Cents." The Wilkinsons' debut album, Nothing but Love, gained them some momentum and notoriety while projecting a wholesome, family image of father, daughter, and son. Award nominations began pouring in, including CMA's Horizon Award and Vocal Group of the Year and the Academy of Country Music Awards' nomination for Single of the Year. The 2000 release of Here and Now, their second album, won the trio accolades with the Canadian Country Music Association for Best Album. The smash single "Jimmy's Got a Girlfriend," featuring the vocals of a maturing Tyler, was the album's biggest success. Shine appeared in spring 2001.
