About Burnstick
It’s folk music that’s brimming with the kind of chemistry that could only come from a husband and wife. Jason, a Plains-Cree guitarist, Nadia, a Francophone-Métis singer-songwriter, create the award-winning duo: Burnstick. Voices that blend together with ease, Burnstick pushes the boundaries of contemporary folk music, weaving together unique sounds of Weissenborns with intriguing vocal harmonies. With their Juno-nominated album “Kîyânaw”, topping the charts of the Indigenous Music Countdown in Canada, Burnstick encourages the reclamation of each other's respective cultures while choosing to be stronger, together.
Aboriginal Music Manitoba (AMM) acknowledges the Government of Canada through the Department of Canadian Heritage, the Canada Council for the Arts, the Manitoba Arts Council, and the Winnipeg Arts Council for their financial support of the sākihiwē festival's outreach programming.
