Martha Redbone in Bonehill: The Concert | ||||||
The University of Hawai‘i Presents Martha Redbone in Bone Hill: The Concert A dramatic musical work of an epic journey home “Poised to be Americana’s next superstar,” Martha Redbone is one of the most vital voices in American Roots music (Village Voice). 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 for Kentucky mixed with the eclectic grit of her teenage years in pre-gentrified Brooklyn. With her gospel singing father’s voice and the spirit of her Cherokee/Choctaw mother’s culture, Redbone broadens the boundaries of Americana. In Bone Hill: The Concert, a new musical work for theater, Martha Redbone and a cast of actor-musicians present an epic journey of one woman’s return to her homeland. Inspired by Redbone’s family lineage in the Appalachian Mountains, the piece spans the lives and stories of four generations of women in a Cherokee family; it is a story about the family’s connection to the land – the simplicity and sacredness of that connection and the ruptures that threaten to extinguish it. Bone Hill: The Concert reveals erased, forgotten truths and it does so with humor, pathos, and exuberance. |
