Shannon Elizabeth, a Metis Cree singer-songwriter from Peepeekisis First Nation, has been a performer since she was a child. Her love of music began when she was nine years old while singing with her family band performing all over western Canada.

She performed as the opening act at the Exchange Folk Festival in Regina on August 8th.

“My experience was wonderful, it was surreal,” said Elizabeth. “The people were great; the stage was awesome.”

In 2017, she released a six-track solo album called “Way to Memphis” and said that experience was wonderful as she recorded out of Nashville, Tennessee with New Sun Records where she worked with Dewayne Strobel, Crystal Shawanda and Dave Row.

Her popularity grew when her favourite song “Reckless” was released and said, “That was real powerful for me.”
