Join us for a powerful evening filled of music as Aysanabee takes the stage for a night of Indigenous storytelling and cultural celebration!
Join kihêw waciston, MacEwan University for an evening of music with two-time JUNO award-winning alternative indie artist, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and singer-songwriter, Aysanabee. On March 23, 2024, Aysanabee made history as the first Indigenous artist to win the JUNO Awards for Alternative Album of the Year and the coveted Songwriter of the Year, for his EP Here and Now. He followed up the wins with a memorable performance on the awards broadcast with a tribute to Robbie Robertson and Gordon Lightfoot alongside Allison Russell, William Prince, Julian Taylor, Shawnee Kish, Logan Staats, and the Rainbow Coalition. He was also nominated for Contemporary Indigenous Artist or Group of the Year.
Aysanabee is Oji-Cree, Sucker Clan of Sandy Lake First Nation, a remote fly-in community in the far reaches of Northwestern Ontario, Canada. As June is National Indigenous History Month, this is the perfect time to support an Indigenous artist.
