Nashville, Tn (PRWEB) August 6, 2006 -- Native American Music Award-winning fiddlist/flutist/storyteller, Arvel Bird (Paiute/Me’tis), is making his first appearance in Santa Fe August 17th through 20th, performing several times during the four days with drummer, John LoneEagle, at the Southwest Native American Art Show, being held at the El Dorado Hotel’s Pavilion & Anasazi Ballrooms, 309 W. San Francisco Street.
Bird will also be performing with Ananeah, a group with whom he recently recorded a CD of the same name. The group consists of William Eaton, Mary Redhouse and Will Clipman. Ananeah will perform at the popular SWAIA showcase at the Paolo Soleri Amphitheater Saturday, August 19th at 8:05pm and on the Plaza stage in the middle of the Market at 1:30pm.
Bird, a classically trained violinist, recently won the coveted Native American Music Award for Best Instrumental Recording for his Arvel Bird LIVE! CD. He performs and records in a number of diverse genres including blues, jazz, bluegrass, Celtic, Cajun, Western swing, American roots, and contemporary Native music making him one of the most unique and in-demand Native entertainers on tour.
An experienced musician who toured the world with Glen Campbell, Loretta Lynn, Ray Price and others for several years, Bird recently has turned his musical focus to his Southern Paiute heritage, and now focuses most of his time on writing, performing, and recording music which reflects that background.
Bird has released ten albums and one DVD since 2001. His most recent CD releases are Ananeah (2005), Animal Totems 2 (2005), a collection of original works which reflect the essential elements of powerful animal spirits and the sequel to Animal Totems; Arvel Bird Live (2005), a compilation drawn from recent performances of Animal Totems (2002) and Big Chief Quetoos, Paiute Country Fiddle (2003), a collection of old cowboy songs and traditional fiddle tunes with Indian names such as "Cherokee Maiden," "Oklahoma Hills," "Cheyenne'" and several tunes written by Bird including the title cut, "Big Chief Quetoos."
