In addition to being one of Canada’s most famous folk musicians, Ferron is one of North America’s most influential writers and performers of women’s music, and an important influence on a generation of artists who have followed in her pioneering footsteps. She now honours her family’s recently-rediscovered Métis heritage. Her rough-hewn voice, chewy phrasing, and poetic songwriting have been resonating with us all since she made her professional debut in 1977.

These events are two of many amazing events at The Talking Stick Festival for more details please visit our website talkingstickfest.ca

Feb 26: Ferron with guests M'Girl
M’Girl is an ensemble of Indigenous women with stories and songs on the gifts received from Mother Earth. Though officially performing for over 15 years, their musical histories and cultural practice spans throughout each of their lives. Their hand drum songs blend harmonies into a contemporary style that reflects both their expertise of voice and their personal story of home. The message in the music is an emergence of cultural ideals and worldviews from their perspectives of Metis, Cree (Nê-heya-win) Anishnaabe (A-nish-naw-bay) and Saulteaux (praire Anishnaabe) and Tahltan/Tlingit cultural backgrounds.
