On Saturday night, eight Manitoba natives and one import won Juno Awards for everything from classical album of the year to best recording package.

The awards, which were given out at the Junos Eve gala ahead of Sunday's televised Juno Awards ceremony, highlight some of the best of Manitoba's growing music scene.

Let it Lie​, the debut release from The Bros. Landreth, won Roots Traditional Album of the Year (group), while Roberta Hansen, who happens to be engaged to David Landreth of The Bros. Landreth, won for Recording Package of the Year for her work as art director, designer and illustrator on the album work for Steve Bell's Pilgrimage. 

She shares that win with Mike Latschislaw, who was photographer on the project.

James Ehnes's Bartok: Chamber Works for Violin, Vol. 3 won Classical Album of the Year: Solo or Chamber Ensemble.

Fred Penner took home the award for Children's Album of the Year for Where in the World.

And while she was technically born in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, Brandon-resident Tanya Tagaq's Animism won for Aboriginal Album of the Year.

Six more awards will be presented at Sunday night's Juno Awards ceremony, which take place in Hamilton, Ont. starting at 7 p.m. on Sunday night.
