"Gathering of Nations Powwow" 1999 is chosen as one of 5 finalists!

    January 9th, 2001

     The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, (NARAS) has completed it's first round of votes. The "Gathering of Nations Powwow" 1999 has been selected as one of the finalist recordings for the voting! The final ballots will go out to the more than 10,000 members of NARAS, who will submit their final choices. On the night of February 21, we'll know who will be the winner of the first ever Native American Grammy!! Other nominees in this category are:

  • Joseph Fire Crow (Trad & Contemporary)

  • Joanne Shenandoah (Contemporary)

  • Blacklodge (Traditional)

  • Lakota Thunder (Traditional)

     Tom Bee and I are extremely proud to have been given the opportunity to produce the Gathering of Nations recordings for the past 10 years. This past Gathering (2000) was our last time of recording this great event, and I wish Derek Mathews and his family great success in recording it in the future. There might be another Grammy nomination in there!
     As we move towards this historic event, it's important that all people recognize the beauty in the recognition of this music at long last. While the music found on the recording is neither my music nor that of Tom Bee, we cannot express enough gratitude to those who have helped us produce it. We've had many crews over the years, and all of them are appreciated.
