KEITH SECOLA AND WILD BAND OF INDIANS
"The thunderous sound of a Pow Wow Drum, power chords and finger pick'in,
echoes of Native American Flute, the music of Keith Secola and Wild Band
of Indians. AlterNative, progressive innovative edge utilizing traditional
Native percussions, world beat and tribal dance."
"The human race,
is the face of all people,
different tongues,
one heart."

NATIVE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS
Latest CD Release: NATIVE AMERICANA
2006 AWARDS:
Artist of the Year, Best Folk/Country Recording, Native Heart - NAMMYS (USA)
Best Folk/Acoustic CD - Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards (CANADA)
Keith Secola's long awaited CD Native Americana merges roots music
with a native soul. It's a musical journey from songwriter Keith Secola's
seasoned perspective as he sings the stories from the many trails he's
traveled through this North American land. As with all Keith Secola lyrics,
songs tend to have a deeper meaning and some purely embrace the fun
and humorous sides of life. The sixteen track CD features the debut
singles Old Trader and This Land, the bluesy rock of Hummingbird, and
longtime concert favorite Drum In The Car.
Native Americana is hailed as Keith Secola's best recording to date, a
masterful collection of Secola penned tunes and arrangements that
weaves the musical fabric of Americana and Native influences throughout
each song. Officially released September 2005, the widely acclaimed CD
generated sales throughout the United States and Canada, across Europe
and in Japan.
