Description

A member of the Aquinnah Wampanoag tribe of Martha’s Vineyard, Thea calls her music Red Roots Americana. She has been described as a “standout writer” by the Washington Post. Thea’s song, “The Ghost Of Emmett Till”, from her highly praised 2018 EP, “Love Come Down” was awarded the grand prize by the Great American Song Contest in March 2021. There were over 1900 entries from forty three countries. In “Love Come Down” Thea created, in just six tunes, an elegant and seamless song journey that begins with a gentle invocation (“Love Come Down”), ends with a lullaby (“Until Then”) and gracefully travels to a few dark American landscapes in between.
