The New North Collective is an ensemble of Northern Canadian performing artists from Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavik/Nunavut featuring singer-songwriters, multi-instrumentalists, spoken word, and throat singing. Together, they explore their ideas of north - from the land to the people; from the traditional to the contemporary.The New North Collective’s interpretation of the world is modern, filled with the driving rhythms of a diverse musical and cultural landscape. Theirs is a contemporary expression of what it means to be from Canada’s North. This interpretation translates into a tightly woven artistic creation, comprised of many threads of music and visuals - each of which can trace its roots to long histories of its many musical traditions.
The group includes Nunavik/Nunavut including throat singer/drum dancer Sylvia Cloutier from Nunavut/Nunavik; spoken word artist/bassist Pat Braden and composer Carmen Braden from the NWT; singer/songwriter Diyet (Kluane First Nation), guitarist/songwriter Graeme Peters, trombonist/singer Selena Savage, and percussionist Robert Van Lieshout from the Yukon; with multi-instrumentalist Eric Reed from BC.
