Evan Redsky

Evan Redsky is a songwriter, hailing from the First Nations Reserve of Mississaugi First Nation. Raised in Blind River and now residing in Toronto, ON. His music seamlessly weaves traditional storytelling, delicate nuance, and poignant commentary on the human condition into cathartic highway-song vignettes.

Drawing from early childhood memories of hearing classic Canadian roots music on one of his reserve’s few available radio stations, Redsky felt compelled to reclaim that form as a vehicle for recounting his own experience as a “Canadian”. Surviving a lineage plagued by the fallout of colonialism, his perspective on the plight of the Indigenous peoples of Canada is one that is deeply important in understanding the urgency of truth and reconciliation.
