Two Indigenous talents to represent the Battlefords at Telemiracle
Two Indigenous music acts will be the Battlefords’ only representation at Telemiracle next month.
Country rock band, Midnite Luv, made of Indigenous and Métis band members with performers from the Sweetgrass and Moosomin First Nations are the first act to make it to the annual telethon. The second is Bianca St Martin, a classically trained natural soprano, also from the Sweetgrass First Nation.
This will be the 42nd Annual Telemiracle put on by the Kinsmen. The event raises funds to purchase equipment and medical treatment for those with special needs. The telethon runs 20 hours and to date has raised $116 million over the last 41 years.
Ali Tatar has organized a Beef and Bun fundraiser this Saturday, Feb. 24, with all proceeds going to Telemiracle.
