Martha Redbone Roots Project: globalFEST 2013

Martha Redbone's music chronicles the crossroads of the American experience. Born in Kentucky and of Cherokee, Choctaw and African-American descent, Redbone combines folk, Appalachian, soul and Native tradition in a group of settings of poetry by William Blake — a startling idea, perhaps, but one that brims with potency and freshness.

Set List

• "A Poison Tree"
• "On Another's Sorrow"
• "Drums"
• "This Train Is Bound For Glory"
• "Skin"
• "Undone In Sorrow"
• "Eyes On The Prize"
• "I Rose Up At The Dawn Of Day"
