Native American band up for national awards

Ada Injunuity, a Native American rock band with Chickasaw ties, has been nominated for three prestigious national awards.

The Ada-based band is nominated for Native American Music Awards (NAMMYS) for Debut Group of the Year and Best Instrumental Recording.

“We want you all to check out all the bands and performers who were nominated and help the best win by casting your vote,” said Injunuity band member Jeff Carpenter.

Public voting is now open for the NAMMY award at www.votenative.com. Once registered to the NAMA Web site, voters can listen to the nominees and vote for their favorite artists in several categories.

Public voting began last month and will continue until Oct. 4. Award winners are selected by a combined vote by the NAMA national membership and the general public.

The 10th annual NAMMY award winners will be announced in Seneca, New York, Oct. 4.

Injunuity has also been nominated for Best Alternative Native Rock Album in the Indian Summer Music Awards (ISMA), which will be presented during the Indian Summer Festival, Sept. 5-7 in Milwaukee.

The awards ceremony will take place Saturday, Sept. 6.

ISMA recognizes and promotes the very best in Native American music created by both established and emerging artists.

Injunuity band members Brad Clonch, Jeff Carpenter, James Monroe, Robbie Blair and Ashton Booth have created a unique sound which features native flute, keyboards and alto saxophone.

Injunuity is nominated for its EP “Unconquered,” which was recorded last year.

The band, which formed in 2007, primarily composes its own songs which are described as a “combination of traditional and modern themes.”

The group received worldwide exposure when it was recently featured on the XM satellite radio station channel 76 “Fine Tuning.”
