   Art Napoleon: General Info
Member Since9/24/2006
Band Websitewww.artnapoleon.com
Band MembersWith my cheap guitar, harmonicas and hand-drum, I'm comfortable solo but i also have a cool duet with marty jones on some bass/cello contraption. i use my band when i can afford them. we love vocal harmonies and i sing partly in cree because i need to do my part in preserving this beautiful language.
Influencesmy modern influences are storytelling songwriters like lyle lovett, bob dylan, neil young, guy clark, john hiatt, greg brown, the beatles, bruce cockburn, los lobos, johnny cash, hank williams,van morrison, CCR etc. i like a lot of cross-cultural music, blues, cajun, R&B... anything with soul and character. i love soul-stirring chants & sacred music!
Sounds Likewhat chief big bear and his drummers might have sounded like if they jammed with the cowboy troubadors of old. mostly, it depends on my mood. my traditional cree songs come from places i don't even know. i just try to stay in the groove and let the spirits sing & dance...

i like to create things in ways nobody has before including songs, stories, comedy sketches, films etc. i love to cook gourmet soul food, cree-style. a bit of a history buff, armchair philosopher and a decent papa. all my kids are my heroes! i love to sing and write about the beauty, pain and awe of the human experience but especially that of my people and culture. i'm here to learn, teach and contribute something to the world however small it may be...

Dear Art Napoleon,

Every time that we listen & write music... play an instrument... sing & dance... act in a play... or work in some audio/image/video engineering process... something is healing inside...

When we share it with friends... something is healing all over...

Love can drive... in a simple way... everything

We are connected

Estimada/o Art Napoleon,

cada vez que escuchamos o escribimos musica... tocamos un instrumento... cantamos y bailamos... o trabajamos en procesos de ingenieria de audio/imagen/video.... algo se sana por dentro...

Cuando lo compartimos con amigos... algo se sana en todas partes...

El Amor puede conducir... de manera simple... todo...

Estamos conectados...
