Corn-Bred Video

Hi Guys,
As soon as Corn-Bred's Native American Music Awards performance is released on DVD I will post it. For now, here is Corn-Bred's first music video.

Corn-Bred wins Nammy

Yes, yes, yes. They did it! The All Native American Blues Band, Corn-Bred, won "BEST BLUES RECORDING" at the 9th Annual Native American Music Awards on October 6, 2007. Needless to say, all of us here at Hondo Mesa Records (HMR) are psyched. This is our first Native American release and our first award.

Corn-Bred is a fantastic band from Central New York. Steve Masiclat, my friend and artistic directior of HMR, designed the CD package and created the graphics. It looks as good as it sounds. Check out the image at CDBaby.com.

If you want to see what all the hype is about, Corn-Bred will be playing at the Redhouse (Syracuse, NY) on Oct. 19, in a new series call "Artists as Artists." This Redhouse series is the brainchild of Aux Records chief, Ulf Oesterle.

Native American Music Awards

I am so excited. My wife, Christiane, and I are heading to the Native American Music Awards on Saturday. The awards show will be held at the Seneca Niagara Casino & Hotel in Niagara Falls, NY. This is our first trip to the NAMMYs. Our Corn-Bred release, on Hondo Mesa Records, is a finalist for Best Blues CD. Can you believe it -- a finalist at the 9th Annual Native American Music Awards! I need to get some new threads for the occasion.
Regards,
Dennis

Lifetime Achievement Award for Joanne Shenandoah

Central New York's own Joanne Shenandoah will be presented with the Native American Music Awards' "Lifetime Achievement Award." The Native American Music Awards show will be held on October 6, 2007.

Congratulations Joanne. You rock!
