2010 Juno Winner: Aboriginal Album of the Year

The band includes Rakesh Tewari (percussion), ShoShona Kish (vocals), Raven Kanatakta (guitar and vocals), and James Forrest (bass).

The band’s nucleus are ShoShona Kish and Raven Kanatakta, both 34 years old. Raven grew up on a reservation in northern Quebec called Winneway, while ShoShona hails from Batchawana First Nation, north of the Sault Ste. Marie area.

The couple, who married four years ago, moved to Barrie, Ontario from the Ottawa area about a decade ago to be closer to the Toronto music scene.

They have spent the past three years touring in Canada, the U.S. and Europe.

Their JUNO winning album, WE ARE, produced by Kinnie Starr with Digging Roots, builds on the unique strength of their live sound with carefully crafted songs, tight studio arrangements and soulful performances.
