Bizhiki Unbound

First Avenue's Best New Bands 2024, Bizhiki is a collective of musicians from Wisconsin who blend Native American powwow singing and hand drumming with electronic indie and avant-garde pop. Centered around the trio of Ojibwe singers Dylan Bizhikiins Jennings, Joe Rainey, and Bon Iver member Sean Carey, the group's genre-blurring debut album, Unbound, was released in 2024.

The ethereal vocals and visceral drumming of Dylan Bizhikiins Jennings (Bad River Ojibwe) and Joe Rainey Sr. (Red Lake Ojibwe) blend harmoniously into the contemporary soundscape multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer S. Carey. The talented performers’ diverse instrumentation - including powwow drums, percussion, drum programming, electric bass, synthesizers, guitars, piano, and vocals - expertly evoke the lived Anishinaabe experience in a unique format. Audiences will be welcomed to gather in intimate community to connect experientially and emotionally to Native American culture, all through the crisp lens of art and collaboration.
