Looks like my wish came true. After seeing Indigenous several times, my basic criticism was that his family, the rest of his band, was holding Mato back.

Mato somehow, using collective consciousness off of my brain waves, dumped the family and regrouped. They will be playing the Sellersville in April and below is the writeup:

From South Dakota's Nakota Nation, Indigenous has won a place among roots rock's elite. Featuring the spirited guitar fireworks and warm dusty voice of Mato Nanji, (often compared to Stevie Ray Vaughan, Los Lobos, Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana), the group is now in it's second incarnation. After original members - brother Pte, sister Wanbdi, cousin Horse left to pursue other musical paths, Nanji recruited guitarist Kris Lager, keyboardist Jeremiah Weir, bassist Aaron Wright, and drummer John Fairchild. "What it amounts to," Nanji announces, "is that Indigenous is a brand new band." On their new emotionally charged and musically visceral recording, Broken Lands, the band's second album on Vanguard Records, Nanji makes a transformation from sparkplug to visionary.
