The nominees for the 31st Annual Saskatchewan Country Music Awards were announced this past weekend, and a band of brothers from the southwest are sitting pretty with a total of seven nominations.

The Hunter Brothers have just come off the exciting announcement of their two Juno nominations, and now they have even more reason to be excited.

The five brothers from Shaunavon received nominations for Group of the Year, Album of the Year, Video of the Year, Interactive Artist of the Year, and Fan's Choice Entertainer of the Year, as well as two nominations for Single of the Year for Lost and Northern Lights.

And to top the list off band members, Luke, Dusty and JJ, are each nominated for their individual talents as bass player, drummer and guitar player.

The Awards Ceremony happens April 18 in Regina.
