Legendary performer Buffy Sainte-Marie returns to Halifax’s Schooner Showroom on June 20.
The Academy Award-winning singer-songwriter-musician and Native American activist performed in Halifax in June 2010 for Grand Chief Membertou 400 celebration on the Halifax Commons. Sainte-Marie, born in Qu’Appelle Valley, Sask., released her first album It’s My Way! in 1964.
The latest of her nearly 20 albums is 2010’s The Pathfinder — Buried Treasures. She also spent five years on Sesame Street, earned a PhD in fine arts, taught digital music as an adjunct professor at several colleges and won an Oscar for Up Where We Belong. Among her songs are Universal Soldier, Codeine, No No Keshagesh, and Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.
Tickets for Sainte-Marie’s show are $35 and are on sale Friday at Ticket Atlantic, 451-1221, at participating Atlantic Superstores and Casino Nova Scotia and online at www.ticketatlantic.com.
