Présence autochtone : John Metza à la Place des Festivals

Wed 05 Aug 2026 • 09:30 pm Blues / Country Folk / Indigenous peoples
Place des Festivals - Montréal Gratuit
· by Rédaction PAN M 360

John Metza est un auteur-compositeur-interprète abénaki originaire de Wolinak, récemment signé sous l’étiquette Nikamo Musik. Après avoir travaillé plusieurs années dans le domaine de la construction, il a fait un virage majeur dans sa vie pour suivre son véritable appel : reconnecter avec ses racines et partager son histoire à travers la musique. Avec une voix rauque, sensible et habitée, John propose un univers à la croisée du folk, du country et du blues, où se rencontrent introspection, douleur et espoir. Inspiré par les légendes comme Johnny Cash et Elvis Presley, tout en s’inscrivant dans la mouvance actuelle d’artistes comme Zach Bryan et Chris Stapleton, il développe un style néo-country empreint d’authenticité. Son tout premier extrait, “SORRY”, marque une entrée forte et touchante dans le paysage musical autochtone. Plus qu’une simple chanson, SORRY est une déclaration intime sur le pardon, portée par des arrangements organiques et une charge émotionnelle profonde. À travers sa musique, John souhaite inspirer celles et ceux qui cherchent à se réinventer, et rappeler qu’il n’est jamais trop tard pour revenir à soi. Il prépare actuellement un deuxième single pour l’automne, poursuivant un parcours artistique guidé par la vérité, la fierté et la transmission.

John Metza is an Abenaki singer-songwriter from Wolinak who was recently signed to the Nikamo Musik label. After spending several years working in the construction industry, he made a major life change to follow his true calling: reconnecting with his roots and sharing his story through music. With a raw, soulful, and heartfelt voice, John creates a musical world that blends folk, country, and blues, where introspection, pain, and hope come together. Inspired by legends such as Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley, while also drawing from contemporary artists like Zach Bryan and Chris Stapleton, he has developed an authentic neo-country sound. His debut single, “SORRY,” marks a powerful and moving introduction to the Indigenous music scene. More than just a song, SORRY is an intimate reflection on forgiveness, carried by organic arrangements and deep emotional resonance. Through his music, John hopes to inspire those who are seeking to reinvent themselves and to remind them that it is never too late to reconnect with who they truly are. He is currently preparing a second single for release this fall, continuing an artistic journey guided by truth, pride, and the passing on of culture and stories.
