TONIGHT’S SPECIAL GUEST ARTISTS:
Corey Medina: https://coreymedina.com
Corey Medina was born and raised in the small town of Shiprock, New Mexico, on the Navajo Reservation. In 2012 he relocated to another small town called Bemidji in Northern Minnesota. His early musical influences came out of what his mom and uncles listened to: blues, classic country, soul, classic rock and metal. Growing up with a single mom and a rebellious heart, Corey quickly learned what the “blues” was and meant.
Even though Corey loves to just write and play music, his mission is to spread a message of hope and encouragement to every tribe and tongue that has felt hopeless and held back in life by fear, shame and hurt.
Lakota John | https://www.musicmaker.org/artist/john-lakota-john-locklear
John Lakota Locklear, born in 1997, grew up listening to his dad’s music collection. At 7 years old, he picked up the harmonica and, at 7, his first guitar. Intrigued by the sound of the slide guitar, by 10 he had bought himself a glass slide, placed it on his pinky finger and has been sliding ever since. Today, Mama Tonya, Papa John and Sister Layla join him to form a proud Lumbee Nation family of talented musicians.
The Lumbee Nation includes 50,000 members who call the enchanting area around Lumberton, North Carolina, with its swamps and cypress trees, home. The tribe has resided along the banks of the Lumbee River, from which they take their name, since the mid-1700s. It is the largest tribe east of the Mississippi but has yet to gain federal recognition.
