Red Rhythm & Blues

Red Rhythm & Blues is IndigiQueer music at its best! Creator, hand drummer, and lead vocalist, Aqua, writes songs inspired by their life experience as an Anishinaabe 2Spirit overcoming intergenerational trauma, homelessness, addictions, mental health, poverty, traumatic brain injuries, and violence. Accompanied by talented Queer multi-instrumentalist Valentina Morelli and gifted violinist Alex George, this trio weaves the soothing sounds of strings and unforgettable harmonies into the universal language of love. Their music is rooted in Indigenous stories of resilience. They invite the audience to engage in a meaningful way and create space for healing, including fancy shawl dancer Nichole Levek who illuminates the poetry within the songs. Their music is a beautiful blend of soul, blues, folk, woven with the deep resonance of the hand drum.  Aqua's Red Rhythm & Blues is Soul Music made of Magic!
