Lakota Native American trio contemporary music performance at Marlboro College Whittemore Theater. Free. January 31st at Thursday 7:00pm.

Scotti Clifford & Spirits Cry are a Native American rock trio formed in the Badlands of South Dakota in 2018. Inspired lyrically by their Oglala Lakota ancestry, the band is sonically rooted in blues and indie rock.

This father, daughter, son trio consists of members; Scotti Clifford, vocals/guitar/bass, Wahpe Louella Clifford (16) on drums, and guitarist Welby June Clifford (18).

Scotti Clifford and Spirits Cry have recently toured across the United States opening for the band Dispatch and Nahko & Medicine for the People at such venues as Stubb's in Austin TX, and The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles CA.

Singer-songwriter Scotti says touring from coast to coast symbolizes a traditional buffalo hunt. "In order to provide for my family, we must follow the music" As a modern day Lakota family who views movement as sacred, Scotti hopes to show his daughter and son how to find balance, both spiritually and professionally.
