Jack Gladstone, acclaimed storyteller and "Montana's Blackfeet Troubadour" performs Sunday, July 27 at The St. Timothy’s Memorial Chapel Summer Music Festival.  

An enrolled citizen of the Blackfeet Nation, Gladstone illustrates American Indian culture through a mosaic of music, lyric poetry, and spoken word narrative.

Jack has released fifteen critically acclaimed CDs. His latest release, “Native Anthropology,” garnered the prestigious “Best Historical Recording” from the Native American Music Association.

In the spring of 2013, Gladstone became the first Montanan to receive the C.M. Russell Heritage Award, given to honor his contribution to the “legacy, culture, and life of the American West.” That same year, he was inducted into the University of Washington Alumni Hall of Fame in the field of Speech Communications.

In 2014, Jack Gladstone and Friends were featured on Montana PBS, 11th and Grant with Eric Funk, sharing an Emmy for Arts and Entertainment. In early 2015, Gladstone was honored by the state of Montana with a Governor’s Humanities Award. In October 2016, he garnered the prestigious “Jennifer Easton Community Spirit Award” from the First People’s Fund and in December 2016, the Governor’s Art Award.
