Leonard Sumner Tells it Like It Is!
by Shuggie on 2017-12-10National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts - OttawaRating: 5 out of 5Before I say anything about the brilliant Leonard Sumner I must also extol Jack Pine and his guitar accompaniment- two brilliant guitarists from Ottawa. Jack Pine has a great career ahead - his wonderful guitar lyrics plus his own excellent songs - bluesy and Folk - made for a great opening act. Sumner’s lyrics and ease with the audience made him especially good. He conveys the oppression, the resilience and coming power of Indigenous peoples in a way I have not heard before.
