Victoria Blackie Brings Some Country to NMAI
June 8, 2011

Country artist Victoria Blackie (Navajo) may only be 23-years-old, but she’s been performing for decades. This 5’1” Salt Lake City native packs a deceptively powerful voice, and likens herself to more traditional country greats like Patsy Cline and Loretta Lynn. You can catch her this Saturday, June 11, performing outside the National Museum of the American Indian, with two other country singers, Rebecca Miller (Six Nations, Ontario, Canada) and Becky Hobbs (Cherokee) from 5-7 p.m.
Things started out early musically for Blackie. Her singing talent was first discovered by her aunt, Martha Chavez, who then ended up doubling as her babysitter and vocal coach. By the time Blackie was 1 and a half years old she was receiving singing lessons, and by the time she was 3 years old, she was performing in public. Blackie even got a taste of international touring at a young age, traveling to Japan with a teen pop band at age 13. Later that year she went on to perform at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. MORE...

Native American Songbird Scheduled to Sing National Anthem
March 23, 2011 | Salt Lake City, Utah
After Christina Aguilera's slaughter of the National Anthem the TY Murray Invitational was
cautious in selecting their next National Anthem singer for their sold out event. If there is
anything taken more seriously than the US flag, it's possibly the national anthem.
The Star Spangled Banner is sung at just about every major American function, and at major
sporting events a significant honor is bestowed on those asked to sing what is probably the best
known national anthem in the world. Listen closely to the words and it tells of a highly emotional
moment in US history when the war with the British was being fought and of one man's relief in seeing
the US flag still flying after a vicious bombardment. CNN MORE
