Who gets to vote for Canada's prestigious Polaris Music Prize?

This year's shortlisted albums include: hip-hop/R&B star Drake's If You're Reading This It's Too Late, Alvvays's self-titled pop debut, and veteran Buffy Saint-Marie's Power in the Blood.

On Sept. 3, Polaris founder Steve Jordan will moderate a panel with three local judges at Yellowhead Brewery, 10229 105 St., starting at 7 p.m. Admission is free.

Those judges are Julia LeConte (Edmonton Journal), Renato Pagnani (The Fader, Pitchfork), and Sandra Sperounes (Edmonton Journal.)

In this week's episode of Dirt City Limits, we'll give you a little taste of what to expect at Thursday's panel.
