Martha Redbone Roots Project
Vocalist, songwriter, composer, and educator of African American, Cherokee, and Choctaw descent, multi-award-winning musician Martha Redbone broadens the boundaries of American roots music with songs and storytelling that share her life experience as a Black and Native American woman navigating the new millennium. Celebrated for her tasty gumbo of roots music embodying the folk and mountain blues sounds of her childhood in the Appalachian hills of Kentucky and Brooklyn, Redbone inherited her powerful gospel-singing father’s voice and the resilient spirit of her mother’s Southeastern Indigenous culture.
