Earthsongs Week of January 4, 2016

This week on Earthsongs: Peguis First Nation singer/songwriter William Prince just released his solo debut album Earthly Days. A member of the supergroup Indian City, he grew up singing in church and touring with his father, Ed Prince, who was a pastor. William was writing songs at age 13 and helping to produce one of his father’s albums at age 15. He was named “Aboriginal Songwriter of the Year” at the Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards in 2014. The new album Earthly Days features his baritone singing voice and poetic lyrics in a style that resembles the likes of Johnny Cash or Leonard Cohen.
