“A Drop In The Bucket” (feat. Tzeporah Berman) [Live at the Canadian Music Climate Summit] – Video

This song is the first to be shared from Grantis’ new music + climate project, Culture vs Policy. The performance was captured live in Toronto on October 21, 2022 at the inaugural Canadian Music Climate Summit, presented by Music Declares Emergency Canada. In the powerful video, Grantis’ inspired and incendiary guitar playing is featured alongside the voice of Tzeporah Berman, Chair of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty. Throughout the performance, Grantis improvises a visceral soundscape in support of Tzeporah’s words which highlight the urgency to stop the expansion of fossil fuels and manage a global, just transition away from oil, gas, and coal.  

“As a supporter of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty, I was moved by Tzeporah’s words from a recent podcast interview. She spoke about the continued extraction of fossil fuels; the resulting impacts on people and our planet; and ultimately, how change happens. I was inspired to compose this song and highlight her message in hopes that it may evoke a feeling or spark an idea in someone, as it did with me.”
