Whitehorse Live at The Grand
The JUNO Award winning duo Whitehorse return to the early days of electric blues with The Northern South Vol. 2, the second instalment of a project that melds the grooves and melodies of the original selections with the band’s steamy, swampy, squalling approach. The Northern South Vol. 2, coming January 2019 on Six Shooter Records, deals 1950s blues bops, hellfire gospels and sexed-up cuts from Howlin’ Wolf, Willie Dixon, Jimmy Reed and more. The first single, “Who’s Been Talkin’” channels the cross-continent blues super sessions with spiny Wurlitzer, serpentine White Falcon, and, above all, a deep reverence for Howlin’ Wolf and his longtime guitar player Hubert Sumlin.

Oshkimaadiziig: The New People
Exhibition by emerging Anishinaabeg legends painter Joshua Mangeshig Pawis-Steckley, entitled Oshkimaadiziig: The New People . Joshua Mangeshig Pawis-Steckley, from the community of Wasauksing First Nation, Ontario, is a painter and illustrator who has exhibited his work since 2015 across Canada. Oshkimaadiziig: The New People is an exhibition exploring the Anishinaabeg Seven Fires Prophecies. “[The prophecies] speak of the poisoning of the indigenous spirit and our lands, and our resiliency to survive and overcome it. They speak of restoring relations between indigenous settler society. They also educate Anishinaabeg youth on the history of the great Anishinaabeg migration from the mouth of the Saint Lawrence River over to the land surrounding the great lakes,” says Joshua Mangeshig Pawis-Steckley.
