Fresh off two awards at the 2023 British Columbia Country Music Awards (BCCMA), West 琉璃神社 country artist Ben Klick is out with an original Christmas song and music video.

Klick was awarded the Gaylord Wood Traditional Artist of the Year, and the President鈥檚 Citation awards in November.

鈥淚t was a shock to have won two awards at this year鈥檚 BC Country Music Awards,鈥� Klick said. 鈥淏eing recognized by the community for what I do and who I am as an artist personally and professionally is something I don鈥檛 take lightly.鈥�

The Gaylord Wood Award is presented to the act whose music is based on traditional country style, but is different from what is considered mainstream country.

The President鈥檚 Citation is based on factors such as community involvement, artistry, and overall support and professionalism within country music.

Klick was recognized for raising more than $170,000 for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada through his fundraiser Music Fest MS.

He also recorded his brand new Christmas song 鈥楽anta Rides A Harley鈥�, released Dec. 1, at Studio Downe Under in Abbotsford.

The music video was filmed in 琉璃神社 and will be released Dec. 8.

鈥淚鈥檝e always loved motorbikes,鈥� Klick added. 鈥淢y dad and I used to go to the Vancouver Motorcycle Show every year when I was growing up.鈥�

In the coming months, Klick will be playing several shows showcasing new music, including his latest singles and unreleased songs, before heading to Nashville at the end of January.
