History


Indian City formed in 2012, and the band's debut album Supernation was released in August of that year, accompanied by a concert in Winnipeg, Manitoba.[4][5] Supernation won Best Pop Album, and Amero won Male Entertainer of the Year for both his work with Indian City and his solo album Heart on My Sleeve, at that year's Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards.[6] They followed up with a second album, Colors, in 2013.[7][8] In 2015 Indian City released a single, One Day, which reaches out to those having thoughts of suicide.[9]

Here & Now, their third album, was released on 15 February 2017. The song, "Through the Flood", won Best Music video performance from the Native American Music Awards (NAMALIVE). Three of the songs from the album won the Indian Summer Music Awards in 2017: "Tree of Life" as Best Country; "Seasons" as Best Pop; and "Here & Now" as Best Rock.[10] The album was nominated for the 2018 Indigenous Music Album of the Year for the Juno Awards.[2] One of the songs on this album, "Through the Flood", features Don Amero and directly addresses the issues of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls in Canada.[3] In 2018 the band performed at a concert to raise awareness of the issue.[11]
