Allison Russell will perform at the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts in Vancouver, British Columbia on November 9, 2026. Russell is a Canadian singer-songwriter and poet whose music blends folk, Americana, and blues influences with elements of spoken word and orchestral arrangements. Her work frequently explores themes of trauma, resilience, and Black queer identity, often drawing from personal experience. She initially gained prominence as a founding member of the acclaimed folk collective Our Native Daughters alongside Rhiannon Giddens, Leyla McCalla, and Franchesca Harding. Russell’s solo career has been marked by critically lauded albums like *Outside Child* and *The Returner*, earning her multiple Juno Awards and Grammy nominations.
