The Wilkinsons Inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame

Congratulations to The Wilkinsons, who were officially inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame as part of Country Music Week 2026 in Saskatoon.

The celebrated Canadian country trio of Steve, Amanda and Tyler Wilkinson emerged in the late ’90s and went on to build an acclaimed career on both sides of the border. Their breakout hit “26 Cents” reached No. 1 in Canada, while their career has earned them two GRAMMY Award nominations, a JUNO Award and eleven CCMA Awards.

The Hall of Fame induction celebrates The Wilkinsons’ lasting contribution to Canadian country music and a career that has continued to resonate with fans for nearly three decades.

It also gives us a chance to look back at another chapter in Amanda and Tyler Wilkinson’s musical career. In 2012, the siblings formed Small Town Pistols, releasing their self-titled debut album through 604 Records the following year. The album featured singles including “Colour Blind,” “Living on the Outside,” “Blame It on the Radio” and “Anthem of a Runaway.”

Small Town Pistols went on to win Group or Duo of the Year at the 2014 CCMA Awards before returning with their second album, Pistology, in 2015.

We’re proud to have been part of Amanda and Tyler’s story through Small Town Pistols and are thrilled to celebrate this well-deserved recognition for The Wilkinsons and their lasting contribution to Canadian country music.
