Logan Staats - Live Sessions

Producer - Director - DP

Logan Staats is a Mohawk, Turtle Clan, singer-songwriter and musician from Six Nations of the Grand River. In 2018 Logan was chosen from 10,000 hopeful contestants vying for a spot on the musical competition show The Launch. Before an audience of 1.4 million viewers, Staats won, officiating the breakthrough that would lead him to Nashville and Los Angeles, and to his single “The Lucky Ones” winning the Indigenous Music Award for Best Radio Single. “The Lucky Ones” also occupied #1 in so-called Canada. In the years between now and then, Staats has come home, making the intentional decision to re-root at Six Nations of the Grand River. “I wanted to bring my songwriting back to the medicine inside of music, to the medicine inside of reclamation,” he says following a phase of constant travel and intensity.

To Staats, music is a healing salve, contemplatively composed and offered to listeners in need of comfort. Since returning home, Staats has been able to create music authentically again, reclaiming his sound through honest storytelling and unvarnished, sometimes painful reflection. An evocative testament to rock’s cathartic spirit, the album was recorded with borrowed microphones at Staats’ apartment, at Six Nations recording studio Jukasa, and at downtown Brantford’s Sanderson Centre for the Performing Arts. “My nation and my community are in every chord I play and every note I sing,” says Staats. “They’ve saved me.” SO-CALLED CANADA tour: https://www.loganstaats.ca IG: https://www.instagram.com/logan_staats Twitter: https://twitter.com/LoganStaats FB:https://www.facebook.com/loganstaatsf...
