Digging Roots was founded around the creative husband-wife song writing team of Raven and ShoShona. They challenge one another to create music that is process driven and explorative, both aesthetically and thematically. Influenced by their traditional Anishinabek and Onkwehonwe music, they also infuse world music and a wealth of popular forms including roots, blues, jazz, folk, reggae, hip-hop and rock. Their music remains the focus of their artistic expression, growth and development, and is a means of exploring their identity as Indigenous creators and contemporary artists. They connect to a unique world view that is rooted culturally, socially and politically in their Indigenous communities.<\/span><\/p>

Over ten years they\u2019ve been utilizing the traditional North American Anishinabek compositional approach of music creation called \u2018Song Lines\u2019 whereby melodies and rhythms are created by tracing the rise and fall of horizons within a landscape. This is a musical way of reconnecting with the earth and the hidden melodies and rhythms that are contained on her. <\/span><\/p>

By utilizing and integrating traditional approaches to music composition Digging Roots have also combined western and eastern approaches to their compositions. Reflective of a contemporary Indigenous identity their music is equally expressive of a global human experience as they connect with audiences on this musical and humanistic basis. <\/span><\/p>

\u00a0Their latest JUNO nominated album \u2018For The Light\u2019 brings more global-blues infused songs and audience \u2018round dances\u2019 to their national and international tours. Digging Roots is a musical group that balances femininity and masculinity with Indigenous tradition and modern aesthetics. Their goal, including their performance at Prismatic, is to engage wider audiences with their Anishinabek music and cultural ideals.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
