Live recording of "Stories of Love, Courage and Sorrow".
Join Annie Humphrey with special guests John Trudell and Anne Dunn for an inspirational evening of music, poetry and storytelling, and take part in this historic live recording for a future CD release. Humphrey, who was born and raised on an Ojibwe Indian reservation in Northern Minnesota, is a self-taught musician,singer and songwriter.“Early on I was inspired by my mother to write,”she says. Humphrey’s mother is noted author and grandmother storyteller Anne Dunn whose published works include “When Beaver Was Very Great”and “Grandmother’s Gift.” This special performance will include Humphrey’s new, never recorded songs inspired by women she knows who have raised others up around them, the lessons learned from the hardships faced in one’s life journey,and from Anne Dunn’s latest work “Uncombed Hair.”

In 2001, Humphrey received The Female Artist of the Year Award, and her first album, The Heron Smiled was voted Best Folk recording of the year at the Native American Music Awards.

On the subject of his extraordinary and acclaimed work as a recording artist, poet and champion of indigenous issues,John Trudell is as direct and plain spoken as the words he puts to music. A people’s poet in the truest sense of the term, John Trudell’s potent imagery and passionate convictions have established his reputation as a spoken word artist whose international following reflects the universal language of his music...and his message.“My goal is very simple.To communicate the human experience at a level that human beings can recognize and relate to. That may be a personal statement. It may be a political statement. But whatever it is,it all comes from the same point of reference: the experiences we share as peoples of this planet.”~ John Trudell
