Injunuity, an award-winning Native American rock band with Chickasaw ties, has been nominated for three prestigious national awards.
The Ada-based band is nominated for three Native American Music Awards (NAMMYS) for its new album "Fight For Survival" in the Best Duo or Group of the Year, Best Instrumental Recording of the Year and Songwriters of the Year categories.
Public voting is now open for the NAMMY awards at www.votenative.com. Once registered to the NAMA website, voters can listen to the nominees and vote for their favorite artists in several categories.
"We want you all to check out all the bands and performers who were nominated and help the best win by casting your vote," said Injunuity band member Jeff Carpenter.
Award winners are selected by a combined vote by the NAMA national membership and the general public.
The 12th annual NAMMY award winners will be announced in Niagara Falls, N.Y., Friday, Nov. 12.
Injunuity band members are Brad Clonch, Mississippi Choctaw, and Jeff Carpenter, Chickasaw.
The new album features native flute, acoustic and electric guitar, drums, piano, string orchestra, and a brass horn section.
Injunuity won a NAMMY in 2008 for its debut EP "Unconquered."
The band, formed in 2007, primarily composes its own songs which are described as a "combination of traditional and modern themes."
