Jeremy Dutcher is a classically trained operatic tenor, composer, and musicologist who has emerged as a vital and effervescent figure in the Canadian music scene. Dutcher, a member of the Tobique First Nation in New Brunswick, boldly blends the rich musical history of his Wolastoqiyik heritage with an innovative approach that transcends a single genre. He is an advocate for Indigenous resurgence, often speaking and singing in his native Wolastoqey language, which is understood by fewer than 100 people today.

Dutcher's music is a stirring journey through past and present, one where century-old wax cylinder recordings of traditional Wolastoq songs are given new life through Dutcher's haunting arrangements and stirring vocal performances. His debut album, "Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa," won the prestigious 2018 Polaris Music Prize and has been critically acclaimed for its groundbreaking fusion of classical influences with Indigenous storytelling and songwriting. Through his transformative compositions, Jeremy Dutcher creates a transcendent experience that invites listeners to engage with a long-underrepresented cultural narrative, while also pushing the boundaries of contemporary music.
