A musician, composer, producer, educator, DJ, and recording artist from Washington, D.C., REDWOOD (born Sequoia Snyder) is redefining the boundaries of contemporary jazz. A recent graduate of Michigan State University’s Jazz Studies program, she has been mentored by jazz luminaries including Rodney Whitaker, Dee Dee Bridgewater, and Jason Moran.

Fostered by early influences in gospel, R&B, hip-hop funk, soul, and pop, REDWOOD’s passion and talent led her to the prestigious Duke Ellington School of the Arts. Her work has earned national recognition, including the Kennedy Center’s Betty Carter Jazz Ahead Residency and participation in Dee Dee Bridgewater’s Woodshed Network.

REDWOOD has performed with an impressive range of artists, including Kenny Barron, Cory Henry, Teri Lyne Carrington, Patrice Rushen, Jazzmeia Horn, Afrobeats star CKay, and the R&B band The Internet. She has also appeared with the New York City Ballet and at the Roots Picnic music festival.
Her debut album, Red 2 Go, showcases both her vocal and production talents and has been praised by outlets such as Earmilk, Stereofox, and NUNAR Magazine. Recent singles including “Dub” (featuring Ekep Nkwelle) and “Nana” further highlight her deep musical roots and personal storytelling. Earlier work, including her 2019 EP Sempervirens, reflects an artist whose originality defies easy categorization.

This concert is presented in collaboration with Foundry Hall and supported in part by Holtec-Palisades, Low Family Foundation, and Rotary Club of South Haven in memory of Carole Hodgman.
