<b><i>No Fool for Trying</i></b><i> </i>(2009), <b>Madison Violet</b> took home the
<b>2009 Canadian Folk Music Award</b> for <b>Vocal Group of the Year, </b>a <b>2010 JUNO Award nomination for Roots & Traditional Album of the Year (Group),</b> and won the 2009
<b>John Lennon Songwriting Contest</b> for their track “The Ransom.” As a follow-up to their breakthrough successes,
<b><i>The Good in Goodbye</i></b><i> </i>captures the duo’s growth and musical maturity. Already nominated for a
<b>2012 ECMA for Folk Recording of the Year in Canada</b>, Their distinct take on iconic Americana-inspired up-tempo melodies beautifully contrasts with their breathtakingly sweeping and personal lyrics, creating songs that blend nods to Lucinda Williams and
Gillian Welch with radio-friendly flecks of The Band Perry.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
