They have released three studio albums and three music videos and have been actively touring across Canada since 2016.[2][3]
History
[edit | edit source]In 2011, Adrian Sutherland was given the opportunity to open for the band Trooper at their performance in Timmins, Ontario.[4] He recruited 3 other musicians from the James Bay area to create Midnight Shine.[5][6]
The band mixes roots, classic, and modern rock, with elements of their Indigenous language, Mushkegowuk Cree.[7][8] In 2017, original drummer George Gillies departed the band. A year later, they recruited Charnelle Menow from Norway House, Manitoba as replacement.[9]
In 2021, Sutherland released the solo album When the Magic Hits.[10] The album was a Juno Award nominee for Contemporary Indigenous Artist of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2022.[11]
In 2024, Sutherland collaborated with Brazilian actor and singer Rodrigo Massa on "Don Politico", a mixed English-Spanish version of his 2019 single "Politician Man".[12]
