Douglas Richard Sinclair is a Métis musician with roots in the Red River Settlement. He's also a member of The Red River Ramblers, an Ontario trio dedicated to reviving Manitoba Métis Fiddle music - which brings together the rhythmic spirit of the First Nations peoples with a blend of both the Scottish and French fiddle traditions. Douglas Richard Sinclair has developed his own rhythmic and melodic style of Métis banjo and guitar, and is joined in the band by Stephen Dayfoot on hand drum, spoons and assorted percussion, and new band member Nathan Smith on fiddle. The band have just released their eight track debut album "Métis Fiddle Music", which also featured fiddler Pierre Arsenault. The new album was recorded in Toronto with John Dinsmore at Lincoln County Social Club. To learn more about the band and music, we caught up with Douglas Richard Sinclair at home in Halton Hills. For more information about The Red River Ramblers, and their upcoming live dates, visit https://theredriverramblers.com. Music: Red River Ramblers "Wigwam Polka", "Red River Jig" and "Louis Riel Reel" / "Chanson De La Grenouilliere" from "Métis Fiddle Music" (2020, Self) CDN.
