Indian Summer Showcase: Dark Water Rising

The 2015 edition of the museum's Indian Summer Showcase Concert series, the latest Native American Music Award (NAMA) winners, Dark Water Rising and The Ollivanders, give an afternoon of outstanding music that highlights the next generation of musicians in Indian Country. Dark Water Rising brings a unique sound from North Carolina that is full of soul, blues and tradition. Members of the Lumbee and Tuscarora Nations, they are the winners of three NAMA awards with their most recent honor being “Best Gospel/Inspirational Recording” for “Grace & Grit: Chapter 1” at the 15th awards presentation. They explores various themes of life — love, heartbreak, sacrifice, celebration, despair, pain — all while expressing and evoking sincere emotion on issues affecting contemporary Native American communities. Dark Water Rising includes artists Charly Lowry (vocals/rhythm guitar/percussion), Aaron Locklear (keys/guitar/drums), Corey Locklear (lead guitar), Tony Murnahan (bass) and Emily Musolino (vocals/lead guitar/bass). This performance was webcast live and recorded in the Potomac Atrium of the National Museum of the American Indian on August 29, 2015.
