Sazacha Red Sky

Nancy Nash is a Canadian blues and pop singer, who has recorded and performed both under her birth name and as Sazacha Red Sky. Under the latter name, she garnered a Juno Award nomination for Best Music of Aboriginal Canada Recording at the Juno Awards of 1994. Initially nominated for her recording of Chief Dan George's "The Prayer Song", the nomination was revised to reflect her album Red Sky Rising after she was accused of cultural appropriation by George's family.

Nash was born and raised in North Battleford, Saskatchewan, and spent her early career working in Edmonton, Alberta. Associated with the blues band Hot Cottage in the 1970s, she was given her own half-hour CBC Television special as part of the variety series Points East, Points West in 1976. She released her debut album, Natural Born, in 1978.

She later moved to Vancouver. Initially a member of the short-lived dance pop band Touché, she later released a second album and several singles as a solo artist. She participated in the 1986 charity single "Actions Speak Louder Than Words", performed as a backing vocalist for Bon Jovi, Loverboy, Long John Baldry, Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show, Big Walter Horton and Cher, and recorded the Expo 86 theme song "Something's Happening Here". She won a West Coast Music Award in 1987 for Best Female Vocalist.
