Lineup
MALI OBOMSAWIN is an award winning songwriter, bassist and composer from the W8banaki (Abenaki) First Nation at Odanak. With an eclectic background in American roots, jazz, and indie rock, Obomsawin carries several music traditions. A Smithsonian Folkways Recordings artist, Mali has received acclaim from NPR and RollingStone and toured internationally with the band Lula Wiles. She received the International Folk Music Association’s “Rising Tide Award” in 2022, which recognizes new generation artists who embody the values and ideals of the folk community through their creative work, community role, and public voice. She frequents the folk music circuit as both frontwoman and sidewoman, appearing at festivals like Newport and Philly Folk with Jake Blount and Lula Wiles, and also performs in the creative music scene with the likes of Peter Apfelbaum, Taylor Ho Bynum, and Bill Cole’s Untempered Ensemble. She is a member of Welcome To Indian Country, an Indigenous Performance Production started in 2020 to highlight five leading Native voices in jazz and roots music. As a composer-arranger, she recently scored the upcoming film We Are Warriors, collaborated with Red Sky Performance and the Toronto Symphony Orchestra, and Palaver Strings. Her latest project, Sweet Tooth, explores concepts of Indigenous identity, colonization, and resistance using original compositions for sextet and archival material from the Wabanaki community.
