With Jeff and I, although it’s something modern, I still want to think of it as something we’re doing historically. Tribes centuries ago didn’t have recorders, so a lot of those songs were lost and a lot of the history was lost. It’s captured in history with the technology today. “I’ve always liked the aspect of, if you record something, it’s a feeling, it’s a part of you. The pride in their heritage and keeping it alive is what gives the music its spirit. It’s a great mesh between the two of us,” said Carpenter.

They began playing small shows around Oklahoma and added other members to round out the band. The duo then quickly put together an EP to get their sound out there.
From there it really took off,” said Carpenter. They really got into that style of music. The performance turned out to be a big success. So the two teamed up and wrote about six or seven songs for the show. He had a show coming up and said ‘hey Jeff I want you to play guitar with me at the show,’” said Carpenter.
“He (Brad) was doing his own solo project with the flute. However, that is what happened when Brad Clonch (Mississippi Choctaw) and Jeff Carpenter (Chickasaw) came together to form Injunuity.įormed in 2007, the group won a NAMMY the following year for Best Debut/Duo Group.
