Tuckkwiowhum (Boston Bar, BC), May 26, 2023 – 2RMX’s 2023 ‘Movable Feast’ series of contemporary Indigenous music and culture events continues with The Spring Movable Feast ‘Bring The Children Home’ tour, showcasing a wide variety of contemporary Indigenous music, of many ages, genres and genders. Experience the healing powers of music as we travel to Tuckkwiowhum Village, Shulus, Neskonlith, and Cook’s Ferry.
The tour begins on May 31st at Tuckkwiowhum Heritage Village (near Boston Bar) with an outstanding group of survivor and youth artists, including Rez Bluez Master Murray Porter and legendary bass playin’ rocker Helene Duguay, Gerald Charlie and Black Owl Blues performing his iconic “Survivor Blues,” and the fantastic guitar and lyrical storytelling of The Margit Sky Project. IniInuvialuit rocker and activist Willie Thrasher and Linda Saddleback will give a foot-stomping performance, along Kiva MH’s hip-hop messages of youth and hope, the one and only Geo aka The Voice, and A’aLiya, with her soulful Sto:lo R&B activation.

We welcome back Dakelh women activators Hujune, Lil’wat reggae realness The Spiritual Warriors, the hip hop and harmonies of Secwepemc-based fusion The Melawmen Collective, performance storyteller SacRed aka Ecko Aleck, and Blues Guitar Phenom Garrett T Willie.
For the last 3 dates, we are joined by the original pow wow dubstep master, DJ SHUB!!!
Our Movable Feast Spring Tour reflects on the theme of: ‘Bring the Children Home’, which we do in our lives as Indigenous peoples, as the number of unmarked re(un)covered graves across Turtle Island reach into the thousands. When we meet, gather and share our unique yet relatable experiences about the true conditions of our lives, we weave them into a new creation: Ones the ancestors transmitted through millennia to bring us to now.
