Description

Errol Ranville has been running all his life: from chronic poverty and racism in rural Manitoba; a discriminatory music business; alcohol and drug addiction; and the responsibilities that come with being regarded as a role model. Though Errol has faced seemingly insurmountable barriers as an Indigenous performer in a predominately white music business, his band C-Weed & the Weeds released several #1 songs and went on to score JUNO nominations in 1985 and 1986. Errol’s autobiography Run as One is filled with love and passion as he embraces the role of trailblazer for the countless musicians that follow his path. The autobiography was a joint effort with writing collaborator John Einarson and Indigenous content editor Grand Chief Garrison Settee.

"This is the story of how C-Weed became a legendary name in Indigenous music. Run As One traces the perseverance, heartbreak and inspiration that led Errol Ranville from extreme hardship to singing the soundtrack of so many of our lives." - Wab Kinew, author of The Reason You Walk.
