SUMMARY:TD Music Tuesdays : Amanda Rheaume
DESCRIPTION:In partnership with our premier sponsor TD\, Union Summer presents a diverse and dynamic line-up of artists in together with fellow TD-supported Festivals. \nAt the start of every show\, whether on stage in Chile\, Nashville or Brisbane\, Australia\, Rheaume introduces herself as a Citizen of the Métis Nation of Ontario whose Red River roots run deep\, interwoven with Anishinaabe relatives from Lac Seul and mixed settler relations. In Rheaume’s music\, songs of resistance and resilience travel centuries. With a gentle yet unflinching touch\, Rheaume has grown to be a chronicler of stories and people whose acts – out of necessity and opportunity alike – cascade through time and space\, from the 18th century Red River Settlement to her own doorstep. With curiosity and empathy\, Rheaume has become a bearer of history\, unearthing and preserving Métis stories in song. In her gutsy guitar-driven style\, punctuated with lively Métis fiddle\, Rheaume’s heartland rock is built to last\, resolute in rhythm and unswerving in purpose. \nInsta: @amandarheaume
