Amplifying Indigenous
Voices
Music sparks memories and emotions. It can put some swagger in your step or soothe a troubled spirit. It’s a way to connect and communicate, to reminisce and rock out. Here in Thunder Bay and our neighbouring communities, we are quite honestly a bit spoiled with such a variety of genres, venues, and multi-talented artists. In this issue, Sounds of the City Volume XI, The Walleye showcases emerging and established Indigenous musicians. We hope you discover new artists to check out and support, or old favourites to revisit.

NOVEMBER 2022: AN ODE TO THE MIXTAPE
Every November we present
our annual Sounds of the City,
where we celebrate Thunder Bay
and the surrounding area’s vibrant
music scene. This month we’re
showcasing Indigenous musicians
from Northwestern Ontario who
are making waves beyond their
communities. As part of our
cover story, Wendy Wright chats with Oji-Cree singer and multi- instrumentalist Aysanabee about his new album, Matt Prokopchuk speaks with the founders of new Indigenous- and women-owned
label Ishkōdé Records, we preview
TBSO’s Northern Lights concert , and Roxann Shapwaykeesic explores the significance of drumming in Anishinaabe/Ojibway culture.
