The Wilkinsons are a country music trio hailing from Belleville, Ontario, Canada. Founded in 1998, the group comprises lead singer Amanda Wilkinson, her brother Tyler Wilkinson, and their dad, Steve Wilkinson. The Wilkinsons broke through in late 1998 with the hit single "26 Cents", a Number One on the Canadian country music charts and Top 5 hit on the U.S. "Billboard" Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts.

Although their U.S. success waned after "26 Cents", The Wilkinsons have continued to chart singles in their native Canada. Lead singer Amanda Wilkinson has also created several solo recordings in addition to her career in The Wilkinsons.

Music

The Wilkinsons' debut album, "Nothing But Love", went to #16 on the Billboard Top Country Albums charts in 1998. The trio have been nominated for the Country Music Association's Horizon Award and Vocal Group of the Year and for Single of the Year by the Academy of Country Music Awards. Their second album, "Here and Now", won the Canadian Country Music Association award for Best Album. The band has earned 9 Canadian Country Music Awards, one Juno Award, and two Grammy nominations (both for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group).

In 2007, The Wilkinsons won Independent Group of the Year at the Canadian Country Music Awards.

"Greatest Hits… and Then Some", a greatest hits album, was released on October 7, 2008. The first single, "When I'm Old", was released in mid 2008.

Reality television

The Wilkinsons are also the subject of a fictionalized "reality" television program on the CMT Canada network, "The Wilkinsons". The show follows the family as they move back to The Quinte Area, Ontario from Nashville, Tennessee. In 2006, the show was nominated for Country Music Program or Special of the Year at the Canadian Country Music Awards.
