New Indigenous Music Directory Connects Artists Across Turtle Island

20 Years of Promoting Indigenous Voices

For nearly two decades, Indigenous in Music with Larry K has introduced listeners to the rich and diverse sounds of Indigenous artists from across North America and around the world. Now, as the nationally syndicated radio program celebrates its 20th anniversary, founder and host Larry Knudsen is taking the next step in supporting Indigenous music with the launch of the new Indigenous in Music Directory.

The online platform is designed to connect Indigenous artists, bands, media professionals, record labels, festivals, venues, and music industry leaders throughout Turtle Island and beyond. It serves as a central gathering place where Indigenous creatives can showcase their work, build professional connections, and increase their visibility to audiences seeking Indigenous music and culture.

"What became clear is that our musicians and industry professionals needed a place where people could easily discover them, learn their stories, and connect with their work."

— Larry Knudsen

The directory features artist and band profiles, music industry services, media outlets, record labels, and Indigenous-owned businesses connected to the music community—creating a professional online presence accessible to audiences worldwide.
