Sam Roberts Wins Big at Junos

Posted by Adam Gonshor on April 4th, 2004

The term “underdog” was coined because the unexpected sometimes does happen. The self-proclaimed “underdog” Sam Roberts was the big winner of the 2004 Juno Awards in Edmonton on Sunday night.

The Montreal-born rocker swept the three categories for which he was nominated, winning Album of the Year and Rock Album of the Year for “We Were Born In A Flame,” as well as Artist of the Year.

Roberts noted in his second acceptance speech that he was victorious, despite not having success in the United States like the artists he beat out, such as Celine Dion, Sarah McLachlan and Nickelback.

“Everything we’ve got has come from fans across Canada, radio stations who have decided to pick up on a band from Montreal who really had nothing going for them except everything to prove,” he said.

Nickelback was named Group of the Year and Fan Choice of the Year. Sarah McLachlan, the favourite going into the night, won for Songwriter of the Year. She also won Pop Album of the Year, which was given out as part of Saturday night’s non-televised event.

Nelly Furtado picked up Single of the Year for “Powerless,” while In Essence took the R&B/Soul Recording of the Year for their album, “The Master Plan.”
