Digging Roots Booking Agency Profile

Digging Roots provide songs from their native Turtle Island new life in order to join a chorus of Indigenous artists, activists and change-makers throughout the world.
Digging Roots, two-time JUNO Award winners, have been promoting Anishinaabe and Onkwehón traditions of circle dance and connectivity while touring the globe for more than ten years.
On their fourth album, Zhawenim, Digging Roots takes you on a trip through tall grass, beautiful rivers and unconditional love in a joyful and empowering celebration. Through a blend of blues, soul and rock n'roll, the six-piece band reacts to a majestic and spiritual appeal from ShoShona's earthy vocals and Raven's exciting guitar expertise, which are led by the explosive current of husband-and-wife duo ShoShona Kish and Raven Kanatakta.
Wherever they may be in the globe, their continually developing live performance creates a space for healing, compassion, unconditional love and Baamaadziwin (the good life) for both longtime and new audiences. Raven and ShoShona were nurtured in cultural households that have persisted in opposing oppression and colonialism, always fusing together drum culture and guitar dialects.
Digging Roots are more than just a band; they have established themselves in the forefront of the struggle for equality and representation in the arts through participation in industry advocacy and organization to strengthen arts communities all around the world. The International Indigenous Music Summit and the record company Ishkdé Records were both founded by ShoShona..

The final Digging Roots booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Digging Roots charge for an event. An example fee to book Digging Roots is in the starting range of $25,000-$39,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances!

The Digging Roots manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book Digging Roots for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Digging Roots agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Digging Roots, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Digging Roots booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for Digging Roots, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
