As an artist, he pairs gritty and compelling songwriting with raw, authentic and high energy performances that electrify the audience. Logan first rose to national prominence when he won CTV’s ‘The Launch’ and released his debut single ‘The Lucky Ones’ which peaked at #1 in Canada. Weaving his way through the sounds of Folk, Rock, Roots and Americana music, Staats powerful voice has become a fan favorite across Canada, and around the world, touring with artists like Mumford & Sons, Eric Clapton and Steve Earle. Mohawk singer-songwriter Logan Staats began as a diamond in the rough, and has become the gem of Indigenous folk-rock. Staats grew up in Brantford, Ontario with no formal musical training, just a good ear and raw lyrical talent. He played the local circuit for years before his 2015 debut release ‘Goodbye Goldia’, an unvarnished yet hard hitting folk album. He went on to win CTV’s ‘The Launch’ in 2018, gaining commercial success and touring across North America and Europe. After all that, Staats decided to come home, making the intentional decision to re-root at Six Nations of the Grand River. “I wanted to bring my songwriting back to the medicine inside of music, to the medicine inside of reclamation,” he says. This is the philosophy behind his sophomore album ‘A Light In The Attic’. These songs are a healing salve, contemplatively composed and offered to listeners in need of comfort. His sound draws heavily from the rich blues and rock legacy of Six Nations. Staats’ music has been recognized with a JUNO Award nomination, multiple Native American Music Awards, and the SOCAN Indigenous Songwriter of the Year award. In September 2024, Staats took the stage at the LA Forum for Life is a Carnival: A Musical Celebration of Robbie Robertson, performing for 18,000 people alongside legendary artists including Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, and Eric Church. Staats returns this November with a powerful new single, “Medicine Wheel”, the first offering from his forthcoming third album.
