    A Conversation with Arvel Bird

    Arvel studied under the great violin master, Paul Rolland for one year. "That was the most defining time of my musical career. Paul taught me so much about performing; he taught me how to relax in order to always give my best performance. He literally took me apart and put me back together again." Arvel began composing, improvising, and learning to play a variety of styles bluegrass, Celtic, folk, country and old-time music. His mix-blood heritage of Southern Paiute & Scottish is now the inspiration for most of his music and he has found a way to incorporate many facets of that ancestry into his signature musical style and stories. When you consider the popularity of movies such as "Braveheart" and "Last of the Mohicans", you'll have a pretty good understanding why his music inspires fans to feel their own connection to their American Indian and Celtic heritages. For eleven years Arvel toured with Glen Campbell, Clay Walker, Louise Mandrell, Tom T. Hall, Ray Price, Loretta Lynn and others. Now as a recording artist, he tours internationally performing his own music as a soloist or with his group, "Many Tribes, One Fire". Since 2001 he has released fourteen CDs and one DVD, which have been nominated or won awards for a number of categories in the Native American Music Awards, Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards. Arvel's music is a fusion of styles - from classical to Celtic, bluegrass & jazz all which all blend together to create his unique World music sound. The more recent infusion of contemporary Native American has come about from his tapping into his Southern Paiute heritage. Each performance is a celebration of his Scottish & Southern Paiute ancestries, wihch he uses to create a true multi-cultural experience for every audience. He had the good fortune to record and collaborate with artists: Grammy nominees New Age pianist, Peter Kater, William Eaton, Mary Redhouse & Will Clipman, & Native American flutists, Joseph Firecrow & actor/singer/songwriter Irene Bedard.

    A Conversation with Shane Yellowbird

    Shane Yellowbird returns to the forefront of the Canadian country music scene with his highly anticipated sophomore album, It's About Time. Two full years in the making, and a true labour of love, It's About Time promises an exciting new collection of tunes, both true to the caliber of music that Yellowbird fans have come to appreciate, and yet explorative of a new side of this talented artist not yet seen. "It's About Time is more about me than my first record, if that makes sense," says Yellowbird. "Going into the studio, I had a real vision of what I wanted this album to be. I've made sure to record songs that really spoke to me. Each lyric and melody says something to me or about me. I'll leave that up to the listener to decide which is which!" The new album release on November 17th, 2009 - on On Ramp Records / EMI Music Canada - will coincide with Yellowbird's first appearance on the hallowed stage of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. The performance will also mark Yellowbird’s entrance to the US market, with plans to release his music and videos in America in 2010. "I look forward to sharing my music with listeners south of the Canadian border," commented Yellowbird. "I have lots of fan's there and it's time I get out and see them." Yellowbird burst onto the country music scene in 2006 with the release of his debut album Life Is Calling My Name. Garnering four Top-10 radio singles and videos, the CD led Yellowbird to countless awards and accolades, including the coveted CCMA award for "Rising Star of the Year," the "Best Country Recording" award at the Native American Music Awards (for North America), and the "Aboriginal Entertainer of the Year" award at the Aboriginal People's Choice Awards (for North America). Growing up in Hobbema, Alberta, Yellowbird, who is Cree, was always a typical cowboy.
