Description

Arvel’s heritage of Southern Paiute and Scottish ancestry is the
inspiration for a unique and haunting style of music,
that fuses Celtic violin and Native American flute.
Arvel Bird, a violinist and Native American flutists, is known around the world for
his dramatic connection between Celtic and Native American traditions. Referred
to as “Lord of the Strings” by fans and music critics, his music evokes the soul of
North American history and is not only entertaining, but also enlightening and
humanizing. This is an experience that will capture the hearts of any audience.
In 2007, he was voted Artist of the Year by his fans and peers at the Native
American Music Awards. Bird led with six nominations at the 2010 Canadian
Aboriginal Music Awards, and took home honors for Best Traditional
Instrumental.
His continuously evolving music is delighting audiences worldwide. His most
recent album, Celtic Nation released in September 2011, is a fusion of traditional
cultural music, with an edgier rock feel and a stronger, more soulful sound.
