Tanya Tagaq is everywhere. As well she should be. She’s an entrancing performer and, with the publication of her first book, Split Tooth, she’s also proven to be a compelling writer. In fact, the book was long-listed for the 2018 Giller Prize.
In the first issue of Femke, writer Amber Nasrulla offers up a fascinating meditation on her voice, while she travelled to Ottawa and interviewed Tanya and her band while they performed at Ottawa Bluesfest. Give it a read.
And, for a multi-sensory treat, check out Tanya’s video for Snowblind, a song from her Toothsayer EP, recently released by Six Shooter Records.
