Singer/songwriter and 2014 and 2016 Native American Music Award winning Flute Player of the Year, accompanied by guitarist Bruce Witham, they've recorded four award-winning albums and have performed on stages nationwide and abroad. They have always said, "We will perform for 5 or 1,500", and have done both.
