Academy Award winner Buffy Sainte-Marie’s audacious attitude to life on and off the stage has inspired people around the world for over four decades. Not one to rest on her accomplishments, Buffy Sainte-Marie has never stopped channelling her infinite musical and artistic creativity. As one of the most spellbinding artists of our time, Buffy Sainte-Marie gracefully combines a high energy stage presence with cerebral songs that tell powerful stories. This rare and primal blend is a welcome joy to festivals and concert halls around the world.

Continuing in 2011 with a touring schedule that will take her across the globe, Buffy Sainte-Marie will perform throughout Europe; North America; Australia; and New Zealand. Her recent appearance at the Byron Bay Bluesfest coincided with the trans-Tansman release of Running for the Drum (Shock Records). Previously released in Canada (Gypsy Boy Music/EMI), the United States (Appleseed Recording) and Europe (Socadisc).

An action-packed collection of powwow rock, house remix, rockabilly and big love songs, Running for the Drum was a hit with audiences and critics right from the start. “A really wild, ear opening set for those that aren’t afraid to take the chance on something that rocks the boat against complacency and does it without a cudgel” (Midwest Records). Passionate as ever, Buffy Sainte-Marie uses her latest songs to cover an extensive array of commanding themes, including great loves and protest against environmental greed.
