Shayna Hobbs is a Stockbridge-Muncie Mohican musician who grew up in Nashville when her father, musician Bill Miller, moved their family here to pursue his own musical journey. Hobbs said she had the vision for IndigeNash for what felt like years. She connected with some other Native artists and musicians and found out they shared a similar vision. The more she talked to Natives, the more she saw something like IndigeNash was a need. 

IndigeNash says they are dedicated to the rich heritage and bold, contemporary contributions of Indigenous artists. Their second annual Indigenous Arts Festival features events happening tonight (Nov 19) through Sunday (Nov 23) taking place at various locations from The Forge, Frist Arts Museum, and The OG Basement, and honors Native voices that shape culture today featuring visual art, music, film, comedy, and storytelling.
