Dear
friends:
-
I just wanted to take a minute out of my crazy schedule
to pass on this email I received from Chris Martini regarding
his new movie. Again, I am so honored to be participating in this film.
The short has been making the rounds of the film festivals, and has
met with alot of success. ROCK ON!!! To see the short, the fundraiser
footage,etc., go to the following link:

-
Also, thank you for all the kind notes you all have sent me, regarding
this project. To answer a few questions:
-
1. Yes, I have agreed to perform in the film.
2. Yes, Gil and Chris played at the fundraiser, and will be in the band
in the film as well.
3. Yes, my hair has grown out considerably, and no I have no plans to
cut it short ever again!
4. Yes, we, as usual performed live- no lip sync. Chris layered our
songs over the performances, because of the noise factor in the room
while they were shooting the show- glasses clinking, money cha-chinging!
( Just kidding!)Although the amps were turned up, and you couldn't hear
that stuff while we were playing.
Rock On!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EMAIL, Received from Chris Martini Subject:
"The Stone Child" Weekly / STONE CHILD SELECTED FOR
WASHINGTON DC INDEPENDENT FILM FESTIVAL!!! |

Dear friends,
Thank you for all your support and kindness! There are a couple of news
items I'd like to pass on to you.
-
First,
a re-cap.Gil, Chris Webb, and myself have an acoustic form of
my songs that we do.We went to Canada for the Canadian Aboriginal
Music Awards, and were invited to play 2 shows at the festival.
We played the main stage on day one and the cafe stage on day two. It
was held at the Skydome at the the Rogers Center in Toronto.
What a rocking scene! Alot of the Native artists came up to me and wanted
to trade Cd's after they heard our set. I got some terrific music from
some oustanding artists. One was from a kid named Wabs Whitebird.
The Cd is called Success is the Best Revenge, and another called
Phoenix by Fara Palmer, who is a true native sister with a great
voice! The crowd at the Sky Dome was so awesome! The nomination we received
was for the Best International category. There were only 3 nominees
from the United States, and the award went to Robert Miribal.
Rock on! We were interviewed by a few native Dj's including Sonic
Dave and Dan Smoke, of Smoke Signals Radio. Highlight: Reps from
Anduhyaun came out to see us, and we were so happy to meet each other!
It was like a strange homecoming after working on the song, and dedicating
it to Anduhyaun!
-
We returned to Southern California for the Rock City Music Awards,
which honor the bands and artists pounding out tunes in the Hollywood
scene. It was held at B. B. King's club in the Universal Citywalk.
It was a packed house, with legendary 80's rocker Jamie Lane of Warrant,
as the guest artist. He sang a great set including, " Heaven Isn't
Too Far Away", " and "Where The Down Boys Go". We
were in a booth right up front, and I sometimes can't believe where
our music has taken us! I won the World Artist Of The Year Award
for the second time in a row (!), and we received a Native American
Heritage Award for our work abroad and at home. I dedicated the
awards to Pony Records who sponsored our Swiss Tour, and to the
women of Anduhyaun, in Toronto. We are very happy campers!
-
So now I am setting our sights on finishing our video, and recording
the new record.Hopefully it will be out in the summer, and will include
some very special guests from Native America.
-
Once again, thank you for all you have done for us. And remember...
ROCK ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

" It has been an incredible year! With all that we were blessed
with in Switzerland, courtesy of Davide and Mary Buzzi of Pony Records,
then to come home and win Best Pop in Milwaulkee at the Indian Summer
Music Awards, the Native American Music Awards Songwriter of the Year

Dear friends:
Thank you for all the support you have heaped on
us! Just today, it was announced that we are nominated in the Best
International Category, at the Canadian Aboriginal Music Awards!
We will be performing in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on Saturday, December
1st, at 6:15pm on the Main Stage of the Canadian Aboriginal Festival,
and on Sunday December 2nd at 3:15pm on the Music Cafe Stage. This will
mark our Canadian debut, and I am very excited about this since it
will bring us to Anduhyaun, the subject of the song we released!
As you might know, Anduhyaun, in Ojibwe, means 'Our Home',
and is a place for victims of abuse or homelessness to find help. Thanks
to the kind efforts of Ms. Blanche Meawassige, and others, Anduhyaun
stands as an example of how hard working hands and caring hearts can
help the people of Native America. Stay tuned... more to follow!
-
Also, the Native American Music Awards will
take place on October 6th, at the Seneca Casino in Niagra Falls,
New York. I will be participating as a nominee, ( Songwriter of the
Year) and as an awards presenter. Thank you for all of your votes, and
support of us in this endeavor. The nammys will be broadcast to
million of viewers this year. For dates and times visit www.nammys.com
