Podcast 419: Saltwater Hank

Saltwater Hank is a Ts’msyen musician based in Prince Rupert,
British Columbia. On Canada Day, 2023, he released his new and
boldest album to date, 'G​̱​al'u​̈​u​̈​nx Wil Lu Holtga Liimi.'
It’s an entire country album sung in Sm'algyax, the Ts’msyen
language.


On this week’s FJ Podcast, we talk to Saltwater Hank about the
project, its release day (and why that’s important), his
songwriting process, the power of language, the gear he used and
so much more. It's a great chat.
