Martha Redbone / Bone Hill

Native and African American singer/songwriter Martha Redbone is the consummate storyteller, a modern-day bard who holds listeners in thrall with original music steeped in bluegrass, gospel, and the powwows of her youth. Spanning four generations, Bone Hill is the true story of Redbone’s multiracial Cherokee and African American family, their home on Black Mountain, the coal mines of Harlan County, Kentucky, and of people permanently bonded to the land despite its violent past. In Redbone’s hands, Bone Hill is also a jamboree, with songs of love and faith, and toe-tapping tunes that bring audiences to their feet.
