Band Members: Just me!
Influences: My influences seem neverending, anyone I've ever heard play
R Carlos Nakai's Canyon Trilogy was the first Native American Flute I heard and is still one of my favourites.
Then there's Douglas Spotted Eagle, Joseph Fire Crow, Mary Youngblood, Nigel Shaw, Bill Miller, Robert Mirabal, Andrew Vasquez, Skychasers. Thanks to them all...
And while I'm thanking people... I should thank the flutemakers for creating the instruments.;- Whiteriver - that was the name on the first flute I bought in Williams Az .;
- My friend Raymond Redfeather at Heartwood Flutes;
-Matt and Tom at Stellar Flutes - the drone flutes I have had off them are stunning! ;
-Coyote Oldman ;-
Steve Frost at Nightstar Flutes and a couple I have made myself! Each instrument has its own personality and this influences the songs that are created on it
..And lastly thanks to the South West states of the USA for captivating my soul, giving me musical inspiration, and finally providing me with a spiritual home.
I think the message of this video is really worth hearing!

Sounds Like: The music sounds like me, but in all probability it also sounds like my influences - R Carlos Nakai, Brian Akipa etc -though this has not been a conscious act.
Take a flute, add reverb/delay and the outcomes are inevitably similar!
It is the delivery and feel that create the major differences
