Performer, composer, activist, musicologist. These roles are all infused into Jeremy Dutcher’s art and way of life. His music, too, transcends boundaries: unapologetically playful in its incorporation of classical influences, full of reverence for the traditional songs of his home, and teeming with the urgency of modern-day struggles of resistance.
A member of Tobique First Nation in New Brunswick, Jeremy worked in the archives at the Canadian Museum of History, transcribing Wolastoq songs from 1907 wax cylinders. Long days at the archives turned into long nights at the piano, feeling out melodies and phrases, in dialogue with the voices of his ancestors. These compositions have been collected together on his debut LP Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa.

Royal Canoe - W A V E R Record Release
We're going to record the whole thing. It'll eventually become a live album.
On Waver Royal Canoe is steering into new terrain. The band still has their kaleidoscopic, beat-driven heart, but these songs play with the absurdity of modern life.
They have played over 400 shows and major festivals around the world, as well as having been on tours with Alt-J and Bombay Bicycle Club. They received a nomination for Alternative Album of the Year at the Junos, and Best Independent Album at the Western Canadian Music Awards. They wrote music for and performed a musical version of Shakespeare’s Richard II and performed their sophomore album in its entirety with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra.
