Native American Music Awards: Local Baltimore “JAR” Nomination

October 5, 2017 – Native American Music Awards: Baltimore Nomination

The 17th Annual Native American Music Awards — Nammy’s — are coming, and for the first time a Baltimore recording artist has been nominated.

Jean Albert Renaud, or “JAR” as he is now known, is nominated as Best New Artist of the Year and his song “I Ride Horses” is nominated as Best Country Song of the year. We sat down to talk with Renaud, who began his career as a Motown star in the 1960s and now dedicates much of his time to the plight of wild horses and to long distance riding.
