Alan Syliboy and the Thundermakers are an award-winning Canadian Indigenous rock and spoken word group out of Mi’kma’ki. Blending genres from rock, jazz, improvised experimental, spoken word and ambient orchestral music, the Thundermakers maintain a foothold in the past, while always pushing towards a better future for Indigenous Peoples everywhere. They have received three nominations for Indigenous Artist of the Year from the East Coast Music Association (2019, 2021, 2022) and won Indigenous Artist of the Year in 2018 and 2019 from Music Nova Scotia. 

Their live performances, featuring multi-media presentations of Syliboy’s visual art and animations comprise a show-going experience as powerful as it is exploring in nature. They’ve performed hundreds of times across the Atlantic provinces including at the 2017 Stan Rogers Folk Festival with late Canadian-American jazz drumming icon and friend Jerry Granelli (1940 – 2021), two collaborations with Symphony Nova Scotia, and were featured at the Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo in Halifax, NS in 2023.
