The North Sound bio:
The North Sound is singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Forrest Eaglespeaker and his partner composer/vocalist Nevada Freistadt. Keeping true to the traditions of Forrest’s heritage, the duo shares stories of Blackfoot identity and traditions from Treaty 7 Territory. The band’s lyrics and music incorporate today’s modern production techniques and the writing sensibilities inspired by great storytellers like Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris. Signed to the independent Indigenous record label New Sun Music in Nashville, the North Sound won Sask Music’s Indigenous Artist of the Year Award in 2020 and has received three award nominations from the Saskatchewan Country Music Association.
