Martha Redbone's Bone Hill: The Concert

Bone Hill: The Concert is inspired by Martha Redbone’s family lineage in the Appalachian Mountains. An epic story of one woman’s return to her homeland on Black Mountain and the coal mines of Harlan County, KY where her family have dwelled for centuries. Spanning the lives and stories of four generations of women in a Southeastern Indigenous family, Redbone travels back in time to her childhood and beyond into the memories and tales of her ancestors. This interdisciplinary theater work features a seven-piece ensemble — five voices with cello, violin/harmonica, banjo/guitar, bass, drums, and piano.

This is a concert performance of the stage musical written written by Martha Redbone and Aaron Whitby.
