Performers
Arvel Bird and One Nation
Headlining this year’s event is One Nation. One Nation was born in a bold move when they debuted at the 2006 Native American Music Awards in Hollywood, Florida, where Arvel Bird took home the 2006 NAMA for Best Instrumental. One Nation’s music reflects their multi-cultural background – Native American, Scottish, Greek and Irish.
Arvel Bird (Lord of the Strings) – Voted “Best Native American Male Performer” by members of PowWows.com. Four months after winning the 2006 Nammy, Arvel won the 2006 Indian Summer Music Award for Best Contemporary Instrumental, adding to his numerous other awards, including four Indiana State Fiddle Championships, Indian Summer Fiddle Champion and too many others to mention.
