In this episode of the Red Man Laughing Podcast we sit down and chat with Raven Kanatakta of Digging Roots. This chat happened live at the 2014 North American Indigenous Games and was recorded in front of Youth athletes and the general public and it focuses on the roots of their music, their process of making music & what it's like to live and tour on the road with a family. We get nerdy and talk guitars and all things nerdy about the guitar, breaking the law & we talk about living through love rather than anger or frustration.
