Martha Redbone to Perform at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian Inaugural Ball, 1/21

Martha Redbone, one of the 21st Century’s leading contemporary Native American recording artists will be performing at the Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian Inaugural Ball in Washington, D.C. to celebrate the re-election of President Barack Obama. "I am thrilled and humbled to be invited to share our music on this glorious occasion; Indian Country knows how to celebrate with grace and honor and I'm looking forward to rockin' out!" Redbone exclaimed. Martha’s spectacular big band performed this past summer at the NYC opening of the National Museum of the American Indian’s "Up Where We Belong" exhibition. For the Inaugural Ball, Ms. Redbone will play the music of Native American music icons such as Jimi Hendrix and Buffy Sainte-Marie as well as her own acclaimed gumbo of Native roots, blues and funk.
