Nominated for a 2023 JUNO Award for Contemporary Indigenous Group or Artist of the Year and the first Indigenous artist to reach number one on the Mediabase Canada Alternative Rock chart in history (March 2023) for "Nomads.”  Aysanabee  (he/him), born Evan Pang, is a multi-instrumentalist, producer and singer-songwriter currently based in Toronto. He is Oji-Cree, Sucker Clan of the Sandy Lake First Nation a remote fly-in community in the far reaches of Northwestern Ontario. Pang began creating music under his mother’s maiden name during the pandemic when the stillness allowed him to slow down and create music, he says, more directly represents himself as an artist.Solemn and soaring, backed by a swirling blend of indie, soul and electronic soundscapes, mournful saxophone and pulse-quickening finger-picking, Aysanabee’s striking sound is equal parts hypnotic and melodic which has been compared to Bon Iver, Matt Corby, Don Ross, Kim Churchill, Kings of Leon and Sam Smith. Outdoor concert. Sponsored by Payomet Performing Arts Center.
