The event features roots, folk, and pop interpretations of Anishinabe, Mohawk, Inuit, and Métis culture at the National Museum of the American Indian on January 12.
Amero is coming off a busy 2012, after releasing his fourth album -- the self-produced Heart On My Sleeve, which debuted in an intimate concert streaming on APTN.ca.
