Susan Aglukark is Canada’s first Inuk artist to win a Juno (4), a Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for lifetime artistic achievement, and she is an officer of the Order of Canada. Susan holds several Honourary Doctorate degrees and has held command performances.

Her journey as a singer-songwriter began in the early 1990’s when she began her writing and recording career. In Susan’s early reflections was the discovery of the platform as learning, sharing and healing, this inspired her major label debut album This Child, released in January 1995. She has since written and recorded 10 albums, founded the Arctic Rose Foundation, authored two children’s books and has a personal memoir in the works.

Susan is embarking on a tour to celebrate the 30^th Anniversary of her award winning breakthrough album This Child with special guest folk/pop artist and throat singer Angela Amarualik.

Her writing of This Child brought her to a personal call to action, get on the platform and speak up, learn, heal, share, this has been her work for these 30 years.

Shout Sister was founded in 2022 by Juno nominee, Canadian music scene veteran, and blues and jazz artist, Georgette Fry with the goal of making group singing more accessible.

Shout Sister Choir takes an unorthodox approach to learning and practicing songs. All music is learned by ear and practiced by singing along. Shout Sister is a safe space where people can sing in a group for the first time. All voices are welcomed by Shout Sister. Shout Sister believes that everyone deserves to sing, and that singing with others is good for our bodies and minds. They are a supportive and caring group, committed to empowering and uplifting our community.
