“The Rez” is a collaboration between 2x JUNO Award winning blues and country music artist Crystal Shawanda and 3x JUNO nominated, 6x CFMA winning Sultans of String. Crystal is an Ojibwe Potawatomi Indigenous singer, born in Wiikwemkoong First Nation on Manitoulin Island in Ontario, is also decorated with multiple Aboriginal People’s Choice Awards, Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards, a CCMA, a Canadian Radio Music Award, and too many JUNO nominations to list.
“I’m very proud of my roots, proud to be a ‘Rez kid’, Crystal says. “I grew up around intergenerational trauma, but that’s not all I remember. I can’t speak for everyone’s experience, but in mine I remember my beautiful family that surrounded me with love and showed me that laughter, like music can be medicine. I remember my community, so resilient and strong. We have all been through so much, but we’re still here. My roots, ‘The Rez’ is very much a part of who I am as an artist and person.”

LIVE CONCERTS:

We love the summer! Coming up in a couple weeks are shows in Bobcaygeon (kids and adults), and Midland Ontario (a Refuge show with Alberto, Tamar, Majd and Saskia)

And if you are anywhere near Guelph this weekend, we look forward to seeing you at Hillside Festival!  Tonight is a bit more of a workshop format with Sultans of String along with Saskia Tomkins, Rebecca Campbell, and Amanda Martinez sitting in.  Then tomorrow we add Cuban percussionist Alberto Suarez and mandolin extraordinaire Andrew Collins to the mix!
