AWARD WINNERS CARRIED AWAY RELEASE HOLIDAY SINGLE

Canadian female pop trio Carried Away recently won Pop/Contemporary Song of the Year for "I Want You" at the GMA Canada’s 29th Annual Covenant Awards held October 26th in Calgary, Alberta. Carried Away snagged four nominations including Song of the Year ("Mystery"), Seasonal Song of the Year ("Soaring Trough the Sky") and Group of the Year. This winter the girls are spreading good cheer with their new Christmas single ‘Snow Falls’, which is quickly being added to A/C and Hot A/C stations across Canada and the U.S.

Sisters Pam and Colleen Walker and their cousin Christine Prankard form Carried Away and have been singing together as long as anyone can remember while growing up in various cities in Ontario. It wasn't until the year 2000 however, that they became Carried Away and decided to make a career out of singing.

Carried Away’s latest recording I Want You was released in August, 2007 across North America with distribution through CMC and Infinity Music. Eleven of the twelve tracks were either written or co-written by the girls.

Otto Price (Producer of BarlowGirl, Out of Eden, GRITS) agreed to produce Carried Away's first full release Closer to You in 2005, which included the song that inspired their name. The song "Carried Away" featured Jeff Deyo of Sonicflood who recorded the song originally. Closer To You had two number one hit singles in Canada in 2005-2006 and also won two GMA Canada Covenant Awards for 'Pop Contemporary Album of the Year' and 'Song of the Year' in 2005.

The Christmas single “Snow Falls” will be released on iTunes at the beginning of December, however the group is offering it for free on their fan club members website “Carried Away Insiders”. Carried Away wanted to do something really special this Christmas so they put together an Interactive Video for ‘Snow Falls’. When you click on the different parts of the image you can make them sing! There are over 100 possible combinations! The insiders’ site is www.insiders.carriedaway.ca

Carried Away is currently finishing up a North American tour with the group Jump5. The tour was in Canada this past weekend for 3 dates including a sold out show in Ottawa. This year they have performed many dates in the U.S. and Canada. In 2006 they performed at the Women of Faith Conference in Calgary, Alberta for 8,500 women. A cross Canada tour is in the works for 2008.
