2013 Headline Performers
Festival weekend will feature a continuous flow of
top flight entertainment coming from the amphitheater stage. We
are proud to present our program of "headline" performers. As in the past, our
"headline" performers include GRAMMY, NAMMY (Native
American Music Award), and IZZY (Indian Summer Music Award)
winners. They are supported by outstanding "featured"
performers to fill out our on-stage program.

2010 Native Rhythms Festival
CD Still Available
If you were with us in 2010 for the second annual Native
Rhythms Festival, our CD "Live from
the 2010 Native Rhythms Festival" will be full
of memories of the performances you shared in. If you
missed our festival that year, here's your opportunity
to enjoy the spirit of our performers from the stage.
This CD is just a couple minutes short of a full hour
and captures some of the best performances as they occurred.
We are honored that the performers who appear on this
CD have allowed us to use their performances for this
project. All money in excess of the production costs for
this CD will be reinvested in this year's festival. So
your donation of $15.00 for your personal copy of this
CD will not only give you this piece of Native
Rhythms Festival history, but will also help
us continue to present the best of Native American Flute
music free to the public.
One of the unique features of this collection is some
of the unusual sounds we were able to capture. Jon
Norris was a vendor hit with his electrified cigar box
banjos, and appears on the CD backing up Michael Graham
Allen (Coyote Oldman) in an improvised duet. Everyone
also enjoyed Peter Levitov's didgeridoo, and we were
happy to capture the duet of Peter's didge with flute
playing competition winner Jonathan C. Ward. Mike
Knight's "thunder tubes" have been extended to
provide two octaves of pentatonic minor range and are
featured on the final "open mike" track. You
won't find these unique performances on any other CD.
Add those pieces to the other outstanding performances
and you have a CD that will stand alone in your
collection.
Check our "merchandise
page" for ordering information.

NOTICE: There is a very
limited number of these CDs

Thanks mostly to the talent and hard work of our
"soundguy" Bruce Iwinski (Creative Sound
Recording), this CD is of a professional quality
you will be proud to add to your music collection. The
idea to create a CD of live performances was hatched
just a few weeks before the event. Bruce did an
outstanding job of responding to our last minute
"hair-brained scheme" and first captured the
live performances and then mastered the CD itself.
