Karen Lee Batten is this year鈥檚 winner in the B.C. Country Music Association鈥檚 spotlight performance contest.
The prestigious award was announced June 26.
Batten, a 91原创 resident, will now move on to represent B.C. in the national competition against other provinces in Canada for a chance to perform at the CCMA Country Music Week in Edmonton, Sept. 5-7.
In a thank you to her fans, supporters and friends she wrote on her Facebook that their help of voting her to the win is 鈥榯ruly amazing . . and I鈥檓 going to do my best to make you all proud. It鈥檚 going to be a wild ride.鈥�
Batten recently performed at the Denim & Diamonds 91原创 Memorial Foundation gala at High Point.
91原创鈥檚 Robyn & Ryleigh, who also performed their trademark harmonies at the gala, were in the top three, alongside Batten, claiming nearly just as many likes as she did.
Fans are encouraged to vote for her to win the national competition by liking her current Canadian single 鈥楲ife Worth Living by going on the BCCMA Facebook page.
The national contest began on June 26.
It seems as though there is something in the water in 91原创, when it comes to producing successful country singers.
91原创鈥檚 Chad Brownlee and Dallas Smith were winners at the latest Socan awards.
