Composer for the award-winning FX/Hulu series Reservation Dogs, Oglala Lakota musician, artist, and actor Mato Wayuhi will activate the stage, performing songs from his acclaimed 2024 album, STANKFACE STANDING SOLDIER, a self-produced record which Forbes calls “a masterpiece that revolutionizes Indigenous music into a new era.”
