Celebrity Travel: Go away with Adrian Sutherland
A: I’ll be traveling for business and shows mainly here in Canada. The summer schedule is now in the works. I’m also hoping to get to the United States, maybe in September, to Nashville for AMERICANAFEST. That’s one event I’d like to attend.
Q: What was your impression of the U.S. during your first visit?
A: My first-ever trip to the U.S. was when I went down to Nashville to record 10 tracks for my upcoming album. That was in June 2023, and I spent roughly 10 days down there. The experience was one that I won't be forgetting soon. I really enjoyed my time in the city. One thing that stuck out most was how genuinely interested people were in who I was, where I came from and why I was in Nashville. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to visit any other cities or states while I was there. I was in the recording studio most of the time. But the next time I get to travel to Nashville, I’d like to spend a little more time exploring the region.
Q: Is there a childhood trip that stands out?
A: Spending one summer in Canada's capital was something I remember very well. We got to meet many other First Nation kids from all around Ontario and spent a week camping in the Gatineau Hills in Quebec. This was the first time I saw bullfrogs. I couldn't believe how big they were! It didn't take long for us boys to muster up a plan to throw one bullfrog into the girls tent at night. Ah, the joy we felt when they were startled!
Q: Where would you like to go that you have never been to before?
A: I'd like to travel to the U.S. and also Europe. I got to go to Germany in 2019 with my band Midnight Shine when we were invited to perform at the Reeperbahn Music Festival in Hamburg and showcase in Berlin. That was my first time ever leaving Canada, and it was exciting to think that I’d be traveling across the ocean. Also, Egypt has always called to me. I’m not sure why, but I feel like I need to visit that place someday.
Q: Where are your favorite weekend getaways?
A: Zipping up to my hunting camp, which is even further north than my community of Attawapiskat. In the winter, we usually travel up by snowmobile and in the summer we go by boat. Getting away for short periods of time out on my traditional lands allows me to recharge and briefly let go of all the troubles in the world. It’s a nice escape.
