Review by: ~Steve Ekblad--audiogrid.com
"The Jared Stewart Band got their start around 1994 in the Billings Montana area. You might not think of Montana as a place to start a blues band, but Jared and his crew prove that you can make a mighty fine blues sound at altitudes of 3000 feet and much higher! High altitude and high energy to boot! This is a very accomplished blues band with a previous release entitled, "No Color In The Blues". Their recent release, "Indian Summer" showcases their hard work in the past years. They rock the blues! I hear quite a few influences in the Jared Stewart Band from blues greats to Redbone!
Jared and Band have won many local awards and been claimed the best blues act in Montana. I think we can expand that scope to include a much wider audience. I became a fan at my very first listen."

Have a great Thanksgiving, the Native Way, a way of life that that we can thank our ancestors for; from all they have scarificed and endured, who have given each of us a perserverance that we should hold proud in our hearts and lives and that we carry on a legacy in each nation we represent, praise the Creator in your native tongue, for without his guidance and vision through our prayers, we may not be here to today.
