Currently Digging On…

Nick Sherman. He’s a fine cross of Ray LaMontagne meets John Mayer, except he’s Anishinaabe – so way better.

I kid.

Or do I?

I was introduced to him at ANDPVA’s last Red Revue at The Sister in Toronto. It was also on this night that I was introduced to the greatness that is Dr. James Luna. If you don’t know about this award winning, Pooyukitchum (Luiseño) and Mexican-American performance artist and multimedia installation artist – you should.

I was lucky enough to have had the Digging Roots time-warp encapsulate him on his way back home from a big tour, wherein he played all night at our neighbourhood block party. Along with DRoots. (Video after the jump!)

Suffice to say – our neighbours were not prepared for this kind of epic musical talent at our little block-party. Cool beans.

I can’t leave without sharing these. Because really, how a toddler rocks out is everyone’s business.

Do you have a musical toddler? Now matter how rowdy, how manic his mood – our raucous young lad is almost always rendered in awe or in dance upon seeing/hearing live music. Try it!

Until the next.
