Their dynamic fusion of lyrics, music, and personality captures the spirit and pulse of a vibrant Indigenous culture. With years of experience billed alongside global talent including Robert Plant, Mumford & Sons and Arcade Fire to name a few as well as famed Indigenous band Eagle & Hawk, Vince Fontaine brings his lifelong connection with music to his newest project, Indian City. Debuting in 2012, Fontaine was set on bringing razor-sharp talent to a musical collective akin to the Toronto-based band, Broken Social Scene. Led by Fontaine on lead guitar, the collective of musicians was to bring a rich and vibrant backdrop for the chapters of Indigenous culture that he would share with Winnipeg, Canada, and ultimately, the modern global village. This contemporary Indigenous collective paints a vivid picture effortlessly weaving Indigenous ideas into the complexities of modern life.
