Kicking off the year with a brand new episode of Gaënö’! A listener of the Mainstream with Brett Maybee in Yuma Arizona introduced me to this weeks featured artist. Have I mentioned just how much I love old fashioned am/fm radio? There’s just something magical about the randomness of it all.

C.W. Ayon, Southern Cheyenne, might hail from Southern New Mexico but his sound will take you deep in to the heart of the Mississippi Delta. Influenced by the likes of John Lee Ho**er and R.L Burnside, he’s perfected the one man, “trance/stomp” style. He’s released 10 albums to date. His latest, Bounce Boogie & Bump, was recorded with bassist Felipe Toltecatl at The Church Studio in Tulsa Oklahoma; the legendary studio founded by Leon Russell in 1972. Tune in to hear our chat and enjoy an hour of great music. Links in the comments. Enjoy!

Combining serious topics with high energy and infectious grooves, the Spanks have opened for the likes of Queens of the Stone Age and Death From Above 1979.

Over the last 2 years it’s been an honor to help introduce great professional recordings of talented Indigenous musicians in the contemporary music scene to a global audience. I look forward to continuing to grow its reach and listenership. However- with Gaënö’ being a weekly, one hour show, there are some obvious limitations.

In the coming weeks I’ll be ready to announce some exciting radio work that’ll allow me the opportunity to share my love and knowledge of ALL my favorite music. The classics and the modern. My favorite music from musicians from around the globe.. To say im excited, would be the understatement of the century. Lol

I also have some other fun community projects that i want to collaborate on as well, so stay tuned and let’s have some fun!

Born out of pain, her latest offering, Super Blood Wolf Moon, embodies the true spirit of Rock and Roll.. “Anger and love are the main driving forces at the heart of the album” and it “reflects the harrowing experiences women suffer at the hands of domestic abusers.” Recorded at Jukasa Studios in Ohsweken with Juno nominated singer/songwriter Terra Lightfoot producing, Kristi expertly balances thoughtful lyrics with catchy hooks and beats in a way that’ll keep you captivated from start to finish.
