Join two-time JUNO Award-winning Oji-Cree artist Aysanabee(Ace-in-abbey) on his first-ever Canadian headlining tour, Now & Then. Following two incredible support tours with Allison Russell and Dan Mangan, as well as countless global festival appearances, it is now time for Aysanabee to take centerstage and share his powerful music—including the radio hit singles "Nomads," “We Were Here,” and "Somebody Else"—along with his engaging storytelling.The alternative indie artist, originally from the Sucker Clan of Sandy Lake First Nation, a remote fly-in community in Northwestern Ontario, Canada, now calls Toronto home. He began making music under his mother’s maiden name when moments of stillness allowed him to slow down and create music that truly represented him as an artist. He’s been compared to Hozier and Kings of Leon, among others. In March 2024, Aysanabee made history as the first Indigenous artist to win theJUNO Awards for Alternative Album of the Year and the coveted Songwriter of the Year for his EP "Here and Now". His debut album, "Watin" (Nov 2022), named after his grandfather, combined music and journalism with artistry and expression and was shortlisted for the 2023 Polaris Music Prize. He has performed over 300 shows across Canada and globally, including recent appearances at AmericanaFestUK, Tallinn Music Week, The Great Escape, Reeperbahn, SXSW Sydney, and Native Guitars@ MeowWolf.
