Indigenous Music
CMT features Aboriginal singer in her own series
CMT (Country Music Television) is currently running a six-part series about Manitoulin Island's Crystal Shawanda. The show takes you behind the scenes on Shawanda's rise to fame and features interviews with label reps, managers and talent buyers.
I caught a couple of great episodes last week, which featured songwriting sessions, numerous performances and intimate interviews.
