Native American Rock & Roll

One of the great pleasures of attending the Native American Music Awards show last week, was meeting the nominees and seeing the excellent performances of scheduled bands. One band caught my attention immediately. Gary Small and the Coyote Bros. rocked the house. Five minutes after accepting their Nammy Award for "Best Rock Recording of the Year," they had all 2500 audience members bopin' and rockin' to their music. Keep an eye on these guys. They are going places.

Here's a shot of them on the Nammy Stage:
