Memphis and the Grande

Combining personal stories, Métis identity and musicianship into his artistry, Ross “Memphis” Pambrun is a cultural connector in the shape of a singer-songwriter-musician. He shows commitment to cultural representation through his music, and through his video podcast, The Squeaky Wheel. The ultimate performer package, Ross recognizes that he is also part of the audience. “I have always stood by the philosophy that if I’m having a good time, the audience will share that energy.” Ross knows how important storytelling is in the artistry of music. He understands the impact that music has on the lives of Métis people. Sharing artistry, heritage, and knowledge of culture, he hopes to reach all audiences from youth to elders and seniors with his music. The Creative Incubator at cSPACE was an opportunity for Ross and his band to generate excitement and energy, and spread the message, by networking with other professionals in all disciplines.
