A new musical work for theater, Redbone and a cast of actor-musicians present an epic journey of one woman&#8217;s return to her homeland. Inspired by Redbone&#8217;s family lineage in the Appalachian Mountains, the piece spans the lives and stories of four generations of women in a Cherokee family. It is a story about the family&#8217;s connection to the land&#8212;the simplicity and sacredness of that connection and the ruptures that threaten to extinguish it.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/calendar\/manoa\/2016\/10\/26\/29570.html?et_id=38886\"><abbr>UH<\/abbr> M&#257;noa Orvis Auditorium<\/a>, October 26 at 7:30 <abbr title=\"after noon\">p.m.<\/abbr><br \/>\nTickets: Call (808) 956-8246 or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.outreach.hawaii.edu\/community\/\">buy online<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/hilo.hawaii.edu\/news\/view\/12049\"><abbr>UH<\/abbr> Hilo Performing Arts Center<\/a>, October 28 at 7:30 <abbr>p.m.<\/abbr><br \/>\nTickets: <a href=\"http:\/\/artscenter.uhh.hawaii.edu\">Buy online<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/manoa-martha-redbone-bonehill.jpg\" alt=\"band performing on stage\" width=\"620\" height=\"412\" class=\"size-full wp-image-50076\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/manoa-martha-redbone-bonehill.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/manoa-martha-redbone-bonehill-260x173.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/>\n<p class=\"clear-photo\">The charismatic songstress is celebrated for her tasty gumbo of roots music&#8212;the folk and country sounds of her childhood in the Appalachian Mountains and the Kentucky mixed with the eclectic grit of her teenage years in pre-gentrified Brooklyn.
