A blues artist from Atikokan has won a fan-based award from the Independent Music Awards.

Sunday Wilde's song "That Man Drives Me Mad" was selected as the favourite blues song by fans in an on-line vote that began in February and ended last month.

"I'm excited," says Wilde. "I live in Atikokan which is a small town which is far from big cities. Because of the Internet, music is out there more and more."

Wilde says the award will help her bring her music to a wider national audience.

She's also launched a new website to help promote herself.
