SOIL AND GRASS

This bluegrass band from Treaty 4, comprised of Quinn Legare

bring music, land, and community into connection, digging into our roots – but only to the
depth of the plow.

JOLIE BLUE

Born & raised in the golden wheat fields of the rural municipality of Eyebrow Saskatchewan No. 193, Jolie Blue sings the songs 

Of the common farming folk in rural Saskatchewan. A toe tapping, down home, blunt approach to the life and times of the farmers

Of the prairies, Jolie Blue will leave you laughing, and singing along to the songs that resonate with the common folk of the region, for that’s all he is.

The Screaming E Strings

Delia Waskewitch (Bull)

Hi my name is Delia original last name is Bull. I grew up and originally came from Little Pine First Nations but am now from Onion Lake.
As a young girl I loved listening to and learning songs!
As a teenager I would sing to my friends and sang for the first time in public at school! After singing I decided I’d learn how to play guitar!
I started writing my own songs at school since we were learning how to write poetry! I started singing powwow at 18, and have travelled across Canada and USA for singing. Love and enjoy singing! I am grateful for singing as it has helped me many times. Ay hay Delia.
