Jeremy Dutcher is a Two-Spirit song carrier, composer, activist, ethnomusicologist and classically trained vocalist from Canada. Five years after rising to international acclaim with his seminal, award-winning album Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa, Dutcher returns to the stage with a new band and pivotal new music. On the tour for the Motewolonuwok album, Dutcher invites audiences to be transformed by music that is more personal and intimate than ever and that pushes the boundaries of his unique sonic landscape.

This musical journey is rooted in an ancestor quote: “Tan qiniw iyuwok wasis kpomawsuwinuwok, ‘tankeyutomon-oc kihtahkomikomon,” which means ”as long as there is a child among our people, we will protect the land.”

Jeremy Dutcher has won the 2024 Polaris Music Prize for his album “Motewolonuwok”
