We’d like to share a song that our friend Chisholm Pierro composted. We would occasionally sing this song. We decided that we wanted to record it on our album, so Michael R went to visit him at home, and asked if we could record this song. He had a steep price lol he wanted a roll of his favourite flavoured snuff....and we put it on our album. He was always someone who enjoyed our music. As a singer himself, he influenced a lot of younger singers and drum groups here in Mi’kma’ki. RIP Chisholm, nemu’ltes em. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wugsxhNRa1o&feature=youtu.be

Kwe msit wen! We hope that everyone is home, safe and healthy. We had a number of powwows booked this year, host drum gigs... and many have since cancelled their powwows this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We think this is the best idea to keep our families, elders and communities safe. Looks like we’ll be starting our next album earlier this year lol

Kwe’! Apukjik kesik! Greetings! Winter is almost upon us! We are extremely grateful of all the opportunities we had this powwow season.... thank you for honouring us to sing at your community’s powwow, gathering, Mawio’mi. We thank all the dancers for honouring us with their dances, the community members for supporting us and our family for allowing us to live this way. We also believe that the creator had taken care of us on our travels....Wela’liek kisu’lk. This weekend is going to be our last powwow of this calendar year, it is coming up on Sunday, November 10 in Wolfville, NS at Acadia University! We look forward to seeing you, seeing the dancers and sharing our songs with the people. Wela’liek aq nemu’ltesnen Wolfville!

Wela’liek to the L’sitkuk (Bear River) for inviting us to be their host drum on Saturday for their annual Harvesters Gathering Mawio’mi! We were also asked to host next years gathering! Hoka! Already looking forward to that gathering!

Busy week for us! We did a performance for the Celtics Colours Festival last Monday to a sold out audience, man it was a great time with lots of great performances! We had a great time singing and enjoying the show. Wela’liek Celtic Colours!
