It's a big night for country music in Canada.


Fans from across the country will be tuning in tonight as the Canadian Country Music Awards are held at Rexall Place in Edmonton.


Activities and concerts have been held all weekend as a lead up to the big show.


The CBC’s Travis McEwan spoke to one woman who describes herself as Canadian country music’s biggest fan.


“I'm pretty much one of the biggest there is. If you ask me a song or an artist, I can tell you what it is by the first number of chords what it is,” said Chelsea Mullan.


Mullan secured a prime spot at Saturday’s FanFest, a free concert put together by the CCMA organizers.


The event gave fans the chance to get up close and personal with some of their idols.


“It's our gift back to the city for having us. It's a free event. We have 16 of our top artists here. They get on stage and sing some of their songs,” said Don Green, president of the CCMAs.


“People don't just listen to country music in Alberta – they live their country music. They grew up on farms. Drive pickup trucks,” said previous CCMA winner Jason Blaine, who played at this year’s FanFest.


Both Blaine and Mullan – who won her tickets – will be attending the CCMAs tonight.


You can watch the awards live on CBC television tonight, beginning at 6 p.m. MT., or streaming live here.
