CCMA To Induct The Wilkinsons Into The 2026 Canadian Country Music Hall Of Fame

The trio will be formally inducted during a ceremony alongside 2026 Stan Klees Builder Hall of Fame inductee Ron Kitchener, as part of Country Music Week 2026 Sept. 16–19 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

One of Canada’s most celebrated country acts, The Wilkinsons earned international acclaim through their signature family harmonies, heartfelt songwriting, and catalogue of hits. Comprised of Amanda, Steve and Tyler Wilkinson, the trio emerged in the late 90s, finding success both at home and south of the border. The Wilkinsons’ debut album, Nothing But Love, spawned hit singles including “Fly The Angel Song,” “Jimmy’s Got a Girlfriend,” “Shame on Me,” “Boy Oh Boy,” and the Gold-certified “Nothing but Love,” which became a staple on country radio across North America.

The album’s breakout hit, “26 Cents” reached No. 1 in Canada, No. 1 on the Radio & Records chart (R&R), and No. 3 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. Throughout their career they have also won a JUNO Award and 11 CCMA Awards, including Group of the Year, Album of the Year and Single of the Year. Their story and success extended beyond music with CMT Canada’s Gemini-Award-winning TV series inspired by the family’s life and career. Amanda and Tyler achieved further success as the CCMA award-winning duo Small Town Pistols, while Steve has built a career as a songwriter, producer and mentor to emerging artists.

“The Wilkinsons’ induction into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame celebrates not only an extraordinary career, but also the lasting impact they have made on Canadian country music,” says Amy Jeninga, President, CCMA. “Their gift of storytelling through song has resonated with legions of global fans, and we are thrilled to honour Amanda, Steve, and Tyler this September in Saskatoon.”

“We have always been profoundly thankful to the Canadian Country Music Association and community for embracing us through the years,” says The Wilkinsons. “To be remembered in this way is deeply humbling. We accept this honour with so much love, gratitude and respect for the artists who came before us and those who continue to carry Canadian country music torch forward.”
