  “Celtic Indian”, Arvel Bird, brings his Mixed Blood Heritage in story, music and song to the Wildwood Sounds
Theater, Del Norte, Co July 19th.
  Celtic Indian, is a reflection of Arvel Bird’s mixed-blood American Indian and Celtic heritages (S. Paiute Utah/Clan
Kennedy Scotland). With his violin, fiddle, Native flutes and Irish whistles, Arvel weaves a powerful tapestry of music
and stories including his original 8 movement concerto for violin, flute, Native drumming and singing called “Tribal
Music Suite-Journey of a Paiute”.
  Bird weaves together traditional stories about animals and their totem meanings with compositions about the Bear,
Horse, Red-tail Hawk, Badger, Wolf and mingles in lively Celtic fiddle tunes like The Lively Lass, Star of Munster, Many
Clans, Many Tribes, Phoenix Firebird, Rockness Monster as well as songs of hope and triumph like Red Nations
Rising, Wovoka Spoke, Eagle Wind Sky and Warriors Unafraid.
  Classically trained as a violinist, Arvel Bird's compositions and performances are a confluence of styles from Celtic,
bluegrass and his original Native American folk and Celtic rock orchestrations.
  As he worked to develop his own music style and a large following, Arvel went wherever the music called him, which
led him away from classical and towards Bluegrass, Appalachian, Folk and Celtic. During his years in the Midwest,
Arvel won the Indiana State Fiddle Contest four times while still perfecting a variety of performance styles.
  From 1986 to 2000 Arvel toured with Glen Campbell, Loretta Lynn, Tom T. Hall, Ray Price, Louise Mandrell, and Clay
Walker.
  Arvel’s continuously evolving music is delighting audiences worldwide. He recently released "Celtic Indian" CD, a
reflection of his live shows. For the July 19th concert he will be drawing music not only from his Tribal music Suite
but also his 3 Animal Totems CDs, Celtic Nation CD and brand new songs not yet released on recordings.
  Although once based in Nashville, TN, Arvel is now settled in Cottonwood, AZ, still connecting with audiences the
old-fashioned way . . . live. This is where Arvel’s emotionally driven performances thrive, igniting concert venues,
symphony halls, festivals and more, leaving his audiences inspired, transfixed and transformed.
