Music Of The Returning Journey is a creative opportunity to blend the authenticity of southern blues with traditional “big drums” or Pow Wow drums of the First Nations culture. This is a uniquely Canadian concept. The concept for “Music Of The Returning Journey” is to explore, through songwriting and performance, the connection between traditional indigenous music and the blues.

High-risk youth will be taught the history, the songs and traditions of the Pow Wow drum. Professional musicians will create original music to be performed for the two groups to combine and work with to create and perform new music.
