Entertainment
Arvel Bird
"Arvel Bird, a Native American Flutist/Violinist, is known around the world for his dramatic connection between Native American and Celtic traditions, stirring up scenes that echo from North American memory. Dubbed “Lord of the Strings” by fans and music critics, his music evokes the soul of North American history and is thoroughly entertaining, but also enlightening and humanizing. In a language and experience that captures the hearts of all audiences, he’s emotional without being condescending, intellectual without being pretentious. One measure of any art form is when the medium is so mastered that it becomes transparent, allowing its message to be seen, heard and felt. Arvel Bird has achieved that mastery."

Patrick Ki
"Patrick Ki's journey began in the island paradise of Hawaii, where he spent his youth amidst the gentle rhythms of the ocean and beautiful sounds of Hawaiian music. If you listen closely to his unique artistry, you can recognize the influence of the island "slack key" guitar. The debut of Patrick Ki as a recording artist was met with unanimous acclaim by both music reviewers and listeners alike. The soothing yet uplifting quality of his signature sound continues to touch the hearts of thousands, who encircle the globe from Mexico to Australia to China and Beyond!"

Léo A. Gosselin
"Léo has been exploring the musical possibilities of the Chapman Stick since 1976 when, at the age of 21, he saw someone trying to play the instrument in his home town of Winnipeg. He had been playing the guitar for eleven years, and did not try the “Stick” before ordering his first one, so the difficulty in mastering the instrument came as somewhat of a surprise. However, tenacity and patience paid off, and he has been playing publicly for a variety of appreciative audiences since 1984. For the last few years, Leo has been performing live at festivals throughout the Southwest, including the Tempe Festival of the Arts, the Tucson Museum of Art, the Tubac Arts and Crafts Festival, the Scottsdale Art Festival, as well as Northwest festivals in the Washington area including Edmonds, Anacortes, Coupeville, and several others."
