Centenary Stage Company presents Martha Redbone Roots Project on Saturday, Feb. 9, at 8 p.m. in the Sitnik Theatre of the Lackland Performing Arts Center in Hackettstown. 

As one of the most vital voices in American Roots music, multi award-winning Martha Redbone is celebrated for her tasty gumbo of roots music, which embodies the folk and country sounds of her childhood in the Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky mixed with the eclectic grit of her teenage years in pre-gentrified Brooklyn. With the spirit of her Cherokee/Choctaw mother’s culture and her gospel singing father’s voice, Redbone broadens the boundaries of Americana.

From a humble beginning with residencies at the original Living Room on the Lower East side and at Joe’s Pub, and nationally touring at powwows, Redbone has built a passionate fan base with her mesmerizing presence and explosive live shows. Her album, Skintalk, is described as the soulful sound of “Earth, Wind and Fire on the Rez” (Native Peoples Magazine) and is recognized as an example of Contemporary Native American music in the Permanent Library Collection at the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian. She was named a 2015/16 Fellow of the Native Arts and Cultures Foundation.
