November is Native American Heritage Month

Posted by trpaisley on

Join the Santa Fe Public Library in honoring Native American Heritage Month.

The celebration begins November 9 at 4 pm with a free performance by Innastate, at the Main Library.

Innastate is formed around the core of Adrian Wall of Jemez Pueblo (guitar/vocal), Rylan Kabotie of Santa Clara Pueblo/Jicarilla Apache (bass/vocal), and Lawrence Bailon of Santa Clara Pueblo/Kewa Pueblo (drums). Innastate’s lineup expands for live performances, utilizing such talents as Romeo C. Alonzo (alto sax) and Delbert Anderson (trumpet), to name a few. The band released their debut self-titled EP in April of 2015 to wide acclaim and a growing fan base that earned the group Artist of the Month by RockwiredMagazine.com and the 2016 Rockwired Reader’s poll award for Best Performance by an American Indian/First Nations Band or Artist. In 2016 Innastate was nominated for “Best Reggae Song” by the New Mexico Music Awards. In 2019, following the release of their album Verde, the Native American Music Awards recognized Innastate as the Debut Duo/Group of the Year.Additional events include:
