Bandon Showcase presents the Martha Redbone Roots Project at 7:30 p.m., Sunday, March 4, at the Sprague Community Theater, 1202 11th St. SW in Bandon City Park.
Redbone is one of the most vital voices in American Roots music. A multi-award winning musician, the charismatic songstress is celebrated for her tasty gumbo of roots music embodying the folk and country sounds of her childhood in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky mixed with Piedmont blues, gospel, bluegrass, soul and traditional Native American.
With her gospel singing father’s voice and the spirit of her Cherokee/Choctaw mother’s culture, Redbone broadens the boundaries of Americana.
Her latest CD, "The Garden of Love – Songs of William Blake," produced by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band founder and Grammy winner John McEuen is an unexpected twist – “a brilliant collision of cultures." (New Yorker)
Alongside her career as a recording artist and songwriter, Redbone has maintained a steady involvement with causes she believes in, utilizing her celebrity in Indian Country for fundraising and leadership, especially involving youth.
Bandon Showcase is committed to providing diverse and unique musical experiences for youth, which is why this concert includes a free student outreach event.
Reserved seating tickets are $25 each and available at Bandon Mercantile, 541-347-4341 at bandonshowcase.org or at the door. Complimentary wine bar and delectable treats are provided by Edgewaters Restaurant and Coastal Mist Chocolates during intermission.
