Winnipeg Blue Bombers News Release


WINNIPEG, MB - Two lucky people attending the 94th annual Grey Cup will have the opportunity of a lifetime at this year's big game, to be played Nov. 19 at Canad Inns Stadium in Winnipeg.

Grey Cup organizers announced today that one fan and a guest will get a chance to meet Canadian and international recording sensation Nelly Furtado face-to-face.

Everyone attending this year's game will be automatically entered to meet Furtado, whose recent multi-platinum CD Loose features No. 1 hits like Promiscuous and Maneater. One lucky name will be announced during the first quarter of the game.

That person and a guest will be invited to come down to field level to watch the 2006 Rogers Grey Cup Halftime Show, which will feature Furtado as the headline entertainer. They will then get an exclusive, V.I.P. meet-and-greet with Furtado following her performance.

Furtado teamed with major producer Timbaland in 2006, to create a diverse song collection on Loose. The multi-platinum release showcases her versatility, creativity and hip-hop influence.

Furtado burst onto the music scene and international stage with her debut album Whoa, Nelly! The album featured the timeless hit I'm Like A Bird that went on to win her the 2001 Grammy for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and four Juno Awards, including Best Single. Furtado won her fifth Juno for Song Of the Year for Powerless (Say What You Want) on 2003's critically-acclaimed album Folklore.

Furtado joins the ranks of previous Grey Cup halftime performers The Black Eyed Peas, Bryan Adams, Sam Roberts, Shania Twain and The Tragically Hip.

Tickets for the 94th Annual Grey Cup game and other Grey Cup events are available on-line by visiting www.ticketmaster.ca or by calling (204) 780-3333.
