Both The Sheepdogs and Rich Aucoin led with four nominations each. The Sheepdogs were nominated for Single of the Year, Group or Duo of the Year, Live Artist/Group or Duo of the Year and Rock Artist/Group or Duo of the Year. Rich Aucoin received his nods for Solo Artist of the Year, Live Artist/Group or Duo of the Year, Electronic Artist/Group or Duo of the Year and Emerging Artist of the Year.
Those receiving three nods were The Pack A.D., Coeur de Pirate, Danny Fernandes and Timber Timbre. Other nominees included Feist, Bruce Cockburn, Fucked Up, The Weeknd, Deadmau5, Adele and AWOLNATION.
Although they have categories for various genres including jazz and world music, they exclude classical and opera. Many "legit" performers are independent musicians as well.
Previously, it was announced that Treble Charger will be inducted into the SiriusXM Indies Hall of Fame. Founding members Greig Nori and Bill Priddle will reunite for the induction after a almost decade apart.
Nominees for the Indies are chosen by members of the industry, but both the public and industry select the winners by voting online at www.indies.ca.
The 12th Annual Independent Music Awards take place in Toronto at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel on Saturday, March 24 during Canadian Music Week.
