Join us at the 9th annual PRFF film festival in Richmond VA! We love the music of Pura Fe and Cary Morin.

Pocahontas Reframed Film Festival is proud and excited to welcome Pura Fé and Cary Morin back to Richmond. Their Saturday night performance will be a highlight of the 2025 festival.

Cary Morin has been described as “one of the best pickers on the scene today.” Morin brings together the great musical traditions of America like no other. With deft fingerstyle guitar and vocals that convey melodic elation and gritty world-weariness, Morin crafts a style often characterized as full-throttle Native Americana.

Although she was originally born and raised in New York City, Pura Fé has chosen to lay her guitars in Saskatchewan, Canada. Pura Fé, an heir to the Tuscarora Indian Nation, is an artist, an activist, and much more. She draws a large part of her inspiration from her rich First Nation heritage while writing about today’s problems.

Together, Pura Fé and Cary Morin are a powerful First Nations duo, with strong vocal harmonies and masterful guitar work. Join us at the Virginia Museum of History & Culture on November 22 at 7:00pm to enjoy a special 90-minute performance!
