Indigenous –Things We Do

[Here's a live performance by one of my favorite blues bands, Indigenous. --twayn]



on Austin City Limits [--brianS]

[If you're not familiar with them, the band members all grew up on a Lakota Nation reservation near Yankton, SD, and they're all related. They've toured pretty relentlessly over the past several years, opening for folks like Bonnie Raitt, BB King, Jackson Brown, and Indigo Girls, but have yet to really break out and make the bigtime, which is a real shame. The lead guitar player, Mato Nanji, is an exceptional talent. Hope everyone enjoys it as much as I do. --twayn]

I liked that so much, I got a bonus track.

Live in Omaha, circa 2001.
