Hear our in-studio session and interview with powwow singer Joe Rainey. The Minneapolis native performed three tracks with producer Andrew Broder, mixing orchestral and experimental electronic soundscapes with Rainey’s gorgeous native chanting. Diane talked with him about the impetus and inspiration for the this unique collaboration, as well as his aspirations to uplift and amplify Native culture, which is often overlooked by the general public. Also, hear live recordings from singer-songwriter Ondara’s Microshow in October, as well as music from Lissie, Maddie Thies, Gabe Barnett, J.E. Sunde and more.
