SUMMARY:Adrian Sutherland - Politician Man
DESCRIPTION:Politician Man\, the debut single from Adrian Sutherland\, is a protest song for Canada. The seeds were planted in July 2019 when his Cree community of Attawapiskat declared a state of emergency over contaminated water. At the same moment\, insensitive comments from a politician in Ottawa sparked massive public outcry\, a spontaneous response from Sutherland himself\, and national media coverage. \nJump ahead to August\, when co-writing sessions with musical brothers sparked a song that was important\, timely\, and totally kickass. One day in September\, that song came to life in a recording studio. By the first week of October\, a filmmaker was adding his keen artistic eye to the message behind the music. \nPolitician Man was released October 17\, 2019\, with accompanying video by Justin Stephenson (director of animation and editor\, The Secret Path). It speaks to Canada’s troubled relationship with First Nations. Growing up in an isolated place like Attawapiskat has given Sutherland a unique perspective\, while his growing profile as an artist is now giving him a voice. This is his way of taking action\, doing something\, about the ongoing struggle that Indigenous people face in Canada\, while the country takes growing steps toward reconciliation. \n“Sometimes reconciliation sounds like an empty word\, and it’s frustrating. You keep trying to get ahead\, but there are ongoing challenges\, one obstacle after another. I have to wonder what I’m doing still living in Attawapiskat\, and if anything is ever going to make a difference\,” says Sutherland.
