Martha Redbone (Choctaw/Shawnee/Cherokee) is blessed with a voice that can make you weak in the knees, lift you up and exalt you, mesmerize you, soothe you, thrill you. Redbone purrs, whispers and hollers her messages of struggle and redemption over her unique gumbo of old school soul, rock, funk, jazz, blues and traditional Native American music.
Martha's musical talent has caught the ears of legends Bonnie Raitt, George Clinton/Parliament Funkadelic, Rita Coolidge and Taj Mahal, while fueled by widespread radio play domestically and internationally alongside ecstatic live performances the singing/songwriting/producing dynamo is building a loyal world-wide audience.
Redbone is a leading voice in both soul and contemporary Native music and has been recognized by the awards garnered for both her albums - ‘Skintalk’ and ‘Home of the Brave’; 2006 Independent Music Awards Best R&B album; Best Debut Artist at the 2002 Native American Music Awards; Indian Summer Music Award 2 consecutive years for Best RnB Album 2004 & 2005. Also in 2005 Martha received the Natl HIV/Aids Partnership Red Ribbon Award presented at the United Nations for her community work.
Currently Redbone is working on her third album which she describes as “an organic soulful approach to songs about love and war, of some of the joys that can be found at home and the battles we face in the world of power.”
