Voluntary Tees (NNA V1 and Sweet Grass Music)

*VIN is testing the t-shirt waters w/ a small batch of NNA and Sweet Grass Music tees (currently S, M, L, XL sizes only, colours as pictured). My initial goal is to raise enough funds to send t-shirt care packages to any interested NNA V1 artists (*we'll be in touch!). Email address on above pic(s) for orders and any additional info required (price, shipping rates, availability, etc...). Please follow up there!
PEACE,
Voluntary Tees

Call of the Moose (+ The Quietus NNA V1 feature)

*I was recently asked to write a NNA V1 feature for UK-based website The Quietus profiling five of the compilation's 23 featured artists and to share a little background on the process of putting the project together. NNA V1 features a diverse range of Indigenous artists from unique cultural backgrounds who performed in a folk, rock, and country style throughout the 1960s-80s and it's so great to see these songs (and their creators) getting some much deserved attention in 2015. Above is a powerful tune by an artist not featured in The Quietus piece, but equally deserving, singer-songwriter Willy Mitchell from Kitigan-Zibi. PEACE
