About the Red Hoop Singers

Founded in 1994 in Dresslerville, Nevada, the Red Hoop Singers are led by Martin Montgomery, an enrolled member of the Washoe Tribe of Nevada and California. The ensemble brings together members of the Washoe, Paiute, Shoshone, Miwuk, Chumash, and Maidu tribes, sharing the rich musical and cultural traditions of their communities.

Originally commissioned by Musica Sierra as part of its Year of the Bird initiative, the Red Hoop Singers created six original round dances and powwow songs honoring the remarkable birdlife of the Sierra Valley and the deep connections between nature, culture, and community.

"The Year of the Bird provides such a wonderful opportunity to share the many stories, dances, and songs our group has to share," shares Montgomery.
