Treat yourself to a performance by guitarist, producer, and songwriter Lakota John (Oglala Lakota / Lumbee), whose sound weaves blues into the Indigenous music of his ancestors. Hailing from North Carolina and shaped by his Dad’s music collection, he picked up the guitar at 7 years old and has since been touring nationally and internationally. Lakota John blends elements of folk, jazz, rock, and blues to create his unique sound, and continues to learn alongside his mentors.
