THE PERFORMERS

Along with major nominees The Weeknd, Adams, Cara and Mendes, performing artists announced at press time included singer-songwriters Coleman Hell, Scott Helman and Shawn Hook, synth-pop twosome Dear Rouge, country hunk Dean Brody and roots couple Whitehorse. But the Junos often toss in a few more ringers closer to the wire, so don’t be surprised to see other acts singing for their supper.
