About BUSH WIEBE and the Mennonite Blues Experiment
My grandfather lived in Paraguay where the north winds would kick up huge duststorms that would get sand and dust everywhere. So he moved into the bush to get away from the wind. That was when my family got the Bush Wiebe nickname. After a while, when the local government was expanding the roadways, it turned out that one of the new roads was headed straight through Grandpa Bush's living room. He had no choice but to move further into the woods. And the Bush Wiebe family has been trying to get away from civilization ever since.
As for me, I'm busy exploring the relationship between mennonites and the blues. Some people can't get past a person's culture and they can't see that at the end of the day, we're all just people no matter where we're from. This mix of cultures in music is what makes us realize the truth about ourselves. This music isn't just for mennonites. It's just my voice, in my context of mennonite history, calling out to everyone to come and celebrate music and life.
I'm still often tempted to abandon everything and follow Grandpa into the bush. But until I do, I'll keep writing and exploring the old stories and folklore. The music is rooted in mennonite culture but it is intended for all to enjoy. Beware the Menno of the Night!

Hi Bush. I have no shows scheduled at the moment, but if I get one I'll let you know. I sell the cd at gigs, of course, but you can also pick it up at Home Made Music, Into the Music or Music Trader.
