(TORONTO) Global Television today announced that SONY BMG MUSIC (CANADA) INC recording artists Lukas Rossi and Gilby Clarke of all-star band, Rock Star Supernova, will be on hand to rock the Canadian Television industry - and fans nationwide - as Featured Musical Guests at the 21st Annual Gemini Awards broadcast direct from The River Rock Casino Resort in Vancouver, BC.
Toronto's own Lukas Rossi returns to Canada to perform for the first time since emerging victorious from the exhaustive search for a lead singer conducted by all-star band mates, Tommy Lee, Gilby Clarke and Jason Newsted. The highly publicized quest - documented on the hit series, "Rock Star: Supernova" and broadcast this past summer in Canada on Global Television - fascinated audiences nationwide, dominated ratings, and cemented Canada's primetime love affair with Rossi, its homegrown hero.
The 21st Annual Gemini Awards will kick-off at 9pm ET/PT on Saturday, November 4th with a special half-hour presentation, ET Canada Live: On the Gemini Red Carpet. Host Cheryl Hickey, along with the ET Canada team of reporters will welcome the stars, dish on nominee and presenter fashions, and provide exclusive backstage buzz from The ET Canada Gemini Lounge.
Then, at 9:30pm ET/PT, the hour-long 2006 awards telecast follows - with Presenters including Evangeline Lilly, Cheryl Hickey, Brent Butt, Nicholas Campbell, Wendy Crewson, Shawn Ashmore and Shaun Majumder on hand to welcome Lukas Rossi and Gilby Clarke to the stage.
