BEZHIG
From the open spaces to the Rez, into the towns the cities and back again, through all these places the cycle of life and events constantly interact giving up an endless flow of stories. Washing up on the shores of Lake Ontario, BEZHIG was formed from that flow.
The founding members of BEZHIG first met while attending Traditional Teachings at the Native Canadian Center of Toronto. The center held an open jam every Wednesday and during a break from the teachings, Jeff and Brent wandered into the jam room and one quick song led to another. They discovered that although they came from different places and musical influences, the sound that was made by them was unique and certainty not the standard Rez blues.
After many line ups, they finally found a drummer that completed the sound. Ken Griffin's solid syncopated rhythms were a welcome addition, as sure as a heart beat. For the first time they were comfortable and enjoyed writing and performing.
Live a little. Love a lot. Experience some life and you've got something to sing about. Listen to BEZHIG and sing along...
