[edit] History and Influences
Burnt Project 1 was formed by David Boulanger in 2001, who has been extremely open in including everyone and everything in his music.[2] In 2003, they released their first album, The Avenue, which included more than eleven musicians - one of which who played the sitar. [3] In 2006, they released their second album, Hometown, which won the Juno Award for Aboriginal Recording of the Year. In June 2008, the band played a special concert at the Indian Residential School Museum of Canada, which was formerly a residential school itself. The Nanaandawe’iti Nagamonan: Healing Songs concert was performed and recorded at the Long Plains First Nation Reserve, located at Portage la Prairie in Manitoba. [4] CBC commissioned David Boulanger to write compose a song dedicated to residential school survivors. His mother, Cathy Boulanger, and friend Duncan Mercredi were both survivors and participated in the song's composition. [5] In the meantime, the band has played various gigs in Manitoba.
Burnt Project 1 is influenced by such bands as Queens of the Stoneage, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Dave Matthews and such musicians as Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley. [1]
