There was a red carpet Saturday, but it was just for fans of made-in-Canada music.
Hundreds lined up to throng the 2017 Juno Fan Fare at the Rideau Centre clutching albums, T-shirts and even a ukelele to be signed by nominees for the iconic Canadian music awards.
“Don’t usually play shows where there are like, people from every angle,” joked The Strumbellas’ Isabel Ritchie, waving to people who crowded in front, behind and even above the band to take in the show from the Rideau Centre’s third-floor mezzanine.
They cheered, clapped and sang along as the band, which is nominated for Group of the Year, launched into their hit Spirits, which is up for Single of the Year.
The Rideau Centre was full of Canadian celebrities and eager fans Saturday April 1, 2017 as the Juno’s Fan Fare took place. The Strumbellas performed Spirits to kick off the Fan Fare fun.
The Strumbellas then signed autographs alongside fellow Group-of-the-Year nominees Arkells and July Talk (the latter is nominated for Alternative Album of the Year).
Seven-year-old Claire Girard, who wanted to tell Ritchie that she also plays the violin, brought a Strumbellas record and snagged each band member’s signature.
Juno Fan Fare at the Rideau Centre (Saturday, April 1, 2017)
Hundreds lined up to throng the 2017 Juno Fan Fare at the Rideau Centre clutching albums, T-shirts and even a ukelele to be signed by nominees for the iconic Canadian music awards.
“It’s something fun to come do,” said her dad, Patrick, who appreciated that the Juno Awards were doing an event that was free and kid-friendly for Claire and her little sister, Caitie, age four, ahead of the glitzy award show Sunday night.
Scott Haycock and Jaimie Klachan brought more vinyl to be signed by Arkells, a long-time favourite band they’ve met four times. Haycock praised the band’s “incredible energy” in their live shows while Klachan said that “every show is a little bit different.”

Not to mention, Arkells are nice guys who helped get Haycock’s wheelchair unstuck from a sand pit during one signing.
“They’re just a small-town band from Hamilton,” Klachan said. “Now they’re just massive. We heard them on the radio when we went to Disneyworld.”
Erica Lapierre, 17, brought her friend Kellie-Anne Powell, 16, and the ukelele she hoped the members of Marianas Trench, nominated for Pop Album of the Year, would sign for her.
It would be her seventh time meeting the band, so Lapierre brought them a light-hearted gift: a picture of the Vancouver act signing autographs for her at a Kingston show, which she signed for the band.
“I love my boys and now they’re going to be here!” she enthused.
The Junos reinforced the patriotic vibe with merchandise like T-shirts which proclaimed either “Home is Canada” or “Canadian-built.”
And the event proved Canadian music has something for everyone.
Trinity Noble and her husband Ryan Zaichkowsky were cheering extra loud to try to win Juno red carpet tickets for tomorrow night at the Juno Fan Fare event at The Rideau Centre Saturday April 1, 2017.
Sarah Fraser awoke early to rent a van and drive two sets of young sisters – her own daughters, Kaydence and Cheyenne, plus family friends – from the Oshawa-area to see Marianas Trench.
“They’re so sweet,” bubbled Aisha Stapleton, 11.
“Their songs have so much meaning, they have backstories,” chimed in Shae Stapleton, 13, who brought the band a fan letter.
“I didn’t think it was real, that I was actually meeting them!” Cheyenne added.
“And they’re so cute!” all four girls said in unison.
Very patient mom Sarah was looking forward to the reward of meeting Country Album of the Year nominees Aaron Pritchett, Chad Brownlee and Dallas Smith.
“I’m more country,” she said.
