Our sound is very Americana type, with a Native American angle.
We have been compared to Bill Miller, Joanne Shenandoah, etc.

We LOVED your concert Friday. Also enjoyed what you did with your group in the student concert on Sunday. I only wish I would have gotten a chance to catch one of your workshops. Hope to hear you again soon, Rachel (Rachabell) and Tunescape

You good people embody all that is good about this great land in which, on which and with which we live. Your great music reflects this lyrically and in spirit.

**Hokahey** Thank you for the request. This animated visual film short you are about to see is a story of prophecy. The story of man going down the wrong path, with one day the possibility of finding the path of peace and love. What we are seeing around the world with wars, genocide, diseases, climate change such as global warming, and potential earth changes that have been foretold by many seers and indigenous peoples. This is that story in animated visuals and soundtrack that will shake you to your roots. We must shift to this path, without hesitation. -------------------------------------- PEACE n' L♥VE!!!
