About

The artist

Andrea Menard is a Métis singer-songwriter, actor, writer, and speaker born in Flin Flon, Manitoba, with family roots in St. Laurent. Now based in Vancouver and a member of Métis Nation British Columbia, she has built a multidisciplinary practice that combines music, theatre, screen performance, and storytelling. Her early one-woman musical The Velvet Devil became an album and CBC television production, establishing a career that now includes five albums and two original symphony shows. Menard's songs move between jazz, roots music, cabaret, and musical theatre while foregrounding Métis culture, reconciliation, love, and resilience. Her stage work Rubaboo: A Métis Cabaret brings music, dance, and visual art together as a communal celebration of cultural memory. She has also appeared as Edna Cranebear on Sullivan's Crossing. Menard was named ACTRA National's Woman of the Year in 2021 and Métis Artist of the Year at the 2023 Summer Solstice Indigenous Music Awards. Her official site and current 2026 Rubaboo performances confirm an active Canadian career, while exact Spotify, Bandcamp, and public identity records resolve the intended artist.
