Berk Jodoin, Metis, has accomplished a lot in a relatively short amount of time. A breakout artist with Meriläinen Music, he’s recently won the 2022 Indigenous Artist of the Year at the Saskatchewan Music Awards and his album, Half Breed, claimed the #10 spot on the Best Album of the Year list of the same awards. He’s currently nominated for the best Indigenous Songwriter of the Year at the 2023 Canadian Folk Music Awards to be in Vancouver this coming March. Never one to shy away from heavy topics, his country rock sound is reminiscent of the legendary Steve Earle. This week Berk joins me to discuss his journey thus far, Half Breed, and future plans. Enjoy!
