Bio
Bebe Buckskin is a Cree Métis blues rocker with a big voice, but most importantly; something to say. Her vocals are commanding and emotionally unfiltered; rooted in Blues and Classic Rock, but delivered with a modern ferocity. Her soulful gut-punching voice turns every performance into a visceral, story driven release. With deep roots in the mighty muskegs and boreal forests of northern Alberta, hailing from both the Paddle Prairie Métis Settlement and Tall Cree Nation in Treaty 8 territory, she affectionately calls herself a “muskeg mama” ; a nod to the swampy landscapes she grew up in and the spirit that seeps into every note of her music.
With a sound that blends blues, classic rock and soul with a northern twist, Bebe channels an undeniable familial swagger, and the haunting soul of the land. Her music carries echoes of Janis Joplin, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Bonnie Raitt, yet it’s unmistakably her own; shaped by culture, community, and the resilience of her Cree and Métis bloodlines.
A proud Indigenous artist, Bebe has made waves across the country with multiple chart-climbing singles on the Indigenous Music Countdown (SiriusXM), and has shared the stage with celebrated acts like Hannah Wicklund, Blue Rodeo, Fleet Foxes, Sloan, and many more.
Now, she’s preparing to release her boldest work yet: a rock opus called "Matriarchal Anarchy", co- produced by rock icon Stevie Salas. Among the album's singles is a powerful rendition of Led Zeppelin's "Immigrant Song" that fuses the primal force of classic rock with the strength and spirit of the Cree language; setting the stage for her anticipated sophomore album. "Out the Rain" is the second single, produced by Stevie with guest vocals by Laura Hunter and Bernard Fowler (The Rolling Stones long-time BG singer). Stay tuned for a stripped down soulful version of her number 1 song "Flight", an empowering anthemic Stevie Salas produced warcry "Native Woman", and a Cree cover of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs".
Whether she’s playing stripped-down riverside sets or commanding a full stage at a festival, Bebe’s presence is magnetic. Her music is both a celebration and a call; to remember, to rise, and to rock.
Beyond music, Bebe is a filmmaker, writer with future dreams of building a homestead in the mountains, hosting creative retreats, and living a life grounded in art, family, community connection and land. Bebe is not just a performer; she’s a force, carving out a space for Indigenous voices in rock and lighting the path with every riff.
