If you missed out on snagging your seat for the Eau Claire Bizhiki show on Saturday, Sept. 14, here’s your second chance. After selling out their 7pm live show, hosted at Micon Downtown Cinema, the newly-formed trio – made up of musicians Dylan Bizhikiins Jennings (Bad River Ojibwe), Joe Rainey (Red Lake Ojibwe), and Eau Claire’s Sean Carey – just announced a second performance at 9pm.

Promising a multimedia experience, Bizhiki – the group takes its moniker from Jennings’ childhood nickname, meaning “little buffalo” – will play one of its first-ever live shows at the downtown cinema, bringing debut album Unbound to life for a finite number of attendees.

Described as a “confluence of sound bringing traditional and powwow music into an expanded musical palette,” the trio released the 11-track project in July. A contemporary, electronic indie sound blends with traditional indigenous powwow singing and hand drumming to create an immersive soundscape that is perhaps best experienced in person.

The downtown theater has roughly 80 seats available for the one-night-only Bizhiki performances. There are about 60 tickets ($23.21/ticket) remaining for the just-announced 9pm show as of today.
