Show Notes

I stepped way outside of my musical comfort zone for this interview with mezzo-soprano Rhonda Head, from Opaskwayak Cree Nation in northern Manitoba.

We talked about her journey from taking vocal lessons to becoming an internationally-known opera and classical singer, about her Indigenous Superstars interview series that highlights Indigenous artists from around the world, translating classical music into the Cree language, and so much more.

This episode brought to you by our pals at Devine Shirt Company.

Huge thanks to everyone who supports the podcast on Patreon. You can help out for as little as $1 a month if you like the show and want to throw some change in the guitar case! You can also throw a one-time tip via Buymeacoffee.
