About Martha Redbone Roots Project

Martha Redbone’s unique gumbo of folk, blues, and gospel, draws upon her childhood in Harlan County, Kentucky, and is infused with eclectic grit from her Brooklyn life. A Native and African-American vocalist and songwriter, she inherited the powerful vocal range of her gospel-singing African-American father and the resilient spirit of her mother’s Southeastern Cherokee/Choctaw culture. With songs and storytelling that share her life experience as a Native and Black woman and mother in the new millennium, Redbone gives voice to issues of social justice, bridging traditions from past to present, connecting cultures, and celebrating the human spirit.
