Jennifer Kreisberg - The Good-Hearted

Jennifer Kreisberg - Relocation Blues

The full four nights of this year's X Avant Festival were curated by A Tribe Called Red's Bear Witness, expanding on the concept of "The Halluci Nation". No surprise, then, that the festival's closing night (with sets from collaborators new and old) ended with all of the performers taking part in a (not so) secret headlining set from ATCR's Halluci Nation Band, mapping journeys taken as well as brand new extensions.

Kreisberg, who voiced "The Muse" on the Halluci Nation album made her presence known on stage both through her powerful voice and her ebullient personality. Unfiltered and engaging, she presented dream-songs and lullabies, embodying the festival's maxim that "we need to learn what it is to be human again and how to treat others as human."
