About this event

DOORS OPEN 7PM. SHOW STARTS 7.30PM

Joe Rainey is a Pow Wow singer from Minneapolis, USA.

This is his first ever UK tour and he's coming to Barrow, Cumbria.

His debut album Niineta (2022) showcased his command of the style - faithful to tradition - accompanied by cinematic, bass-heavy production from Andrew Broder.

Depending on the song, Rainey's voice can celebrate or console, welcome or intimidate. No matter the inflection, each note conveys a clear message: We’re still here. We were here before you were, and we never left.

Joe is kicking down the doors, closed for too long to Native artists in America and demanding new space be made for Pow Wow singing - in the same conversation as any other modern music.

He insists that his culture not be thoughtlessly shoved in the ‘World Music’ bin, not be relegated to the past, to be admired behind glass or in halls of academia-but blaring out of car windows, in the earbuds of a kid on the basketball court, and in dimly lit concert venues, rattling the subs. Joe is not telling ancient stories - he is telling modern stories that often go unheard. It’s impossible not to hear this.
