Award-winning Métis singer/songwriter from Canada
Rheaume’s voice is a balancing act of strength and vulnerability, cutting right through that welcome road-weary swing of the guitar and drums... great Americana, but even better, Rheaume is continuing to change the canon of what stories that genre tends to tell.

Americana with fiery Métis fiddle
In Rheaume’s music, songs of resistance and resilience travel centuries. With a gentle yet unflinching touch, Rheaume has grown to be a chronicler of stories and people whose acts - out of necessity and opportunity alike - cascade through time and space, from the 18th century Red River Settlement to her own doorstep. With curiosity and empathy, Rheaume has become a bearer of history, unearthing and preserving Métis stories in song. In her gutsy guitar-driven style, punctuated with lively Métis fiddle, Rheaume’s heartland rock is built to last, resolute in rhythm and unswerving in purpose.
Recent recipient of King Charles III Coronation medal, recipient of the 2024 Spirit of Folk Award, 2023 Canadian Folk Music Award for Indigenous Songwriter of the Year and the 2023 Capital Music Awards’ Album of the Year, Rheaume has released six full-length albums to date and been touring internationally since 2011.
