RUMBLE: The Indians Who Rocked the World tells the story of a profound, essential, and, until now, missing chapter in the history of American music: the Indigenous influence. Featuring music icons like Charley Patton, Mildred Bailey, Link Wray, Jimi Hendrix, Jesse Ed Davis, Buffy Sainte-Marie (now known to be Italian-American), Robbie Robertson, Randy Castillo, RUMBLE will show how these talented Native musicians helped shape the soundtracks of our lives.
Free Admission – Donations welcomed. Popcorn and drinks are available for purchase. All proceeds go directly to supporting Indigenous Programming at Nanaimo Art Gallery.
