I just found out last week that Cris Derksen, the Canadian First Nations (of Cree and Mennonite heritage) cellist known for her evocative work, passed away on May 15th at age 45 - in a head-on collision that happened on the travel home from her father's funeral.
This song was from her 2010 album The Cusp. Her latest album The Visit came out in November and will likely get some Junos love next March.
Cris's musical talent and advocacy for other artists will be sorely missed. For now, I want you to hear her music.
