[News] DIGGING ROOTS ANNOUNCE NATIONAL TOUR

Digging Roots

‘Indie roots’, ‘global blues’, ‘jam band’, ‘Indigenous alternative’? Call them what you will, but First Nations band, Digging Roots are marching to the beat of their own drum. After winning a JUNO Award and taking home a Cobalt prize at the Maple Blues Awards last year for their composition ‘Hwy 17’, they return with a new tour and brand new single ‘AK47’.

The six-piece band from Toronto, Canada seem to have
found the right balance of fairytale good fortune, old
fashioned hard work and the creative chemistry to make a go of it. The husband and wife team, Raven Kanatakta and ShoShona Kish firmly inhabit roots and blues, but with a nomadic wanderlust to explore other sonic terrain. Digging Roots brings some pow-wow to Australia with their musical stories of travellers, troublemakers, lovers and heroes. They also carry with them a whimsical thread of idealism – that love can keep the darkness at bay.
