Influences
Miles Davis says a good musician takes their influence from all forms of art, visual arts, dance, theater, literature, etc., while Messiaen transcribed birdsong and incorporated it into "Classical" pieces...music is everywhere.
Native (Choctaw/Shawnee/Cherokee/Blackfeet) and African-American singer-soulwriter with two multi-award winning indie albums to date - 'Home of the Brave' and 'Skintalk'....this spirited sista is doing it for herself, BK indie style!
TIME OUT NY say "In our opinion Redbone deserves Alicia Keys level success. She has the deep funk to back up her soul queen image and live she brings a groove-heavy powerhouse of a band"....
BLUES & SOUL 5STARS!!! reviewof 'Skintalk' "Occasionaly an album comes along out of nowhere that starts by giving you goosebumps and ends up by knocking you completely off your feet. This is one such album. In terms of quality and soulfulness it eclipses everything else I've heard in the past 12 months. It's that good. Really."....

So come and join us and around 5,000 of our friends for a little music show on the Muckleshoot rez.
Pass the word, due to explosive growth WCAIMA can no longer fit inside Chief Leschi School and will be taking place at the White River Amphitheater on the Muckleshoot Indian Reservation. This location is confirmed and contracts have been signed. An estimated 5,000 tickets have already been sold so this is going to be one of the biggest Native American events in the Pacific Northwest outside of the annual Canoe Journey!
Live video cast will be carried on PowwowTime. com.
White River Amphitheatre
40601 Auburn Enumclaw Road Auburn, WA 98092 360.825.6200
White River Amphitheatre is located on the Muckleshoot Indian Reservation, just 35 miles southeast of Seattle.
