It’s Here!
The first single from BCAF grant recipient Foreshadow!
All of us at the Billy Conway Artist Fund are excited to announce the official release of the single “Bring Them Home," from musical artist Shadow Devereaux (Foreshadow)!
On November 29 the single (and title track from the award-winning documentary) and the video will make their debut, and we couldn’t be prouder! Thank you to everyone who has supported this effort—we couldn’t have done this without you!
The song and the accompanying video pay homage to the Blackfeet Tribe’s efforts to return buffalo to their original lands.
About the Film:
Bring Them Home tells the story of a small group of Blackfeet people and their mission to establish the first wild buffalo herd on their ancestral territory since the species’ near-extinction a century ago—an act that would restore the land, re-enliven traditional culture and bring much needed healing to their community. Narrated by Academy Award-nominated Blackfeet / Nez Perce actor Lily Gladstone and Co-directed by Blackfeet siblings Ivan and Ivy MacDonald with Daniel Glick.
Announcing
Our 2024 Grant Recipient:
Shadow Devereaux
aka
Foreshadow
The Billy Conway Artist Fund seeks to aim the spotlight on Indigenous Artists from Montana who create in the musical, literary, and visual arts. This labor of love has been created to honor and push forward Billy’s legacy of creative generosity- he was the backbone of many songwriters’ creative processes , for Billy it was all about the song, not about himself.
We at BCAF are thrilled and proud to announce our first grant recipient, Shadow Devereaux (aka Foreshadow)!!!! (We’ve been trying not to use a lot of exclamations, but we can’t stop ourselves on this one!)
Shadow Devereaux is a Salish and Blackfeet hip hop artist from the Blackfeet Reservation in northern Montana. His music blends the struggles of Indigenous youth with themes of positivity and resilience. Shadow's work exemplifies the power of art to inspire change and uplift those around him, embodying a spirit of creativity and cultural pride. He has honed his craft over a decade, mastering the art storytelling through song, with a deep understanding of engagement and cultural preservation. He bears a dynamic and impactful presence, both on and off the stage.
Shadow is a skilled audio engineer and and owner of the Missoula recording studio, Nu Wav. And, to top it off, he is father to three beautiful boys.
Just before Billy Conway left his body, he summed up life from that perspective by saying - with a sweet smile, “In the end, we’re all just a story.” If we look at it this way, we, as individuals, weave our stories into one another’s, and create something larger.
We are looking forward to witnessing the story of Shadow.
