The winners of the 4th Annual Long & McQuade Music Express Awards were announced earlier today and Rush took home the prize for Top Canadian Group, barely edging out Blue Rodeo by a margin of only 27 votes. Rush was also nominated in the Best Live Act category but lost to Bryan Adams. Nominees for each of the 13 categories were selected by Music Express with the ultimate winners being determined by fan voting. All winners will receive a special microphone award, courtesy of Long & McQuade. Thanks to John at Cygnus-X1.net for the heads up.
