Hear Me Cry Frank Waln and Cody Blackbird

I am a 22 year old Sicangu Lakota, born and raised on the Rosebud Reservation. I am digital storyteller who uses music to communicate a message of hope. My music is an extension of spirit, my heart, my proud Lakota values and my struggles. I will break stereotypes and lead by example through my education, dedication and motivation which will allow me to create success on my own terms in my own lane of music.

This Young Son is a strong Warriors voice of today's Youth...His Words are Strong, Powerful and shares a Message that needs to be heard by all.

Frank along with Cody Blackbird join forces in yet another POWERFUL and INSIGHTFUL heartfelt piece in their new release "Hear Me Cry".

Join the Wolf and the bear Network in spreading that Message with them!

Coffee House Journeys...Inspirations from the Red Road

Acoustic guitarist Joseph Strider has covered a lot of musical ground in his career thus far. From boy soprano in school choirs, to playing with a cover band, Strider has spent the years developing his own unique style, a style that fits in no established genre and can best be described as modern Indigenous alternative

No matter how frenzied the pace becomes, it is the music that moves Joseph, the voice of Spirit that he has been blessed to hear and to pass on, that inspires him daily, that fuels the prolific flow of new guitar pieces.
Come join him as we sit and talk Hot topics and Musical Notes... bring a hot cup of Java a comfy chair...sit back and relax and enjoy the Mood...

Tuesday night Michael Joseph joins Joe! and accordingly, his Acoustic music, is a representation of one of
the cultural cross-sections of America. A mixed heritage ranging from Native American
(Blackfeet), to the farmers of Kentucky, to the Appalachian hills of West Virginia.
Michael never set out to define these roots in his music; however, as he has learned, our
roots are inevitable. “By embracing these roots, you help keep your ancestors alive.”

Highlights of this week on the Wolf and the bear Network

This past Friday afternoon, the Wolf and I had the pleasure and honor to sit with Robert and Dawn Mirabal, talking of family values, culture and life in general.  To listen to them speak, hearing the respect and love that they carry for each other and the way of life, was just a glimmer onto their lives that the outside world doesn’t always get to see.  They are modern day Warriors working to teach and continue a culture that is loosing momentum in the modern world that surrounds us all.
Aside from all the awards that Robert has won, and the impact that he had on the world with “Music From a Painted Cave”, Robert and Dawn continue to help create positive change within their own community, by keeping it simple.  From making moccasins in a traditional manner, to farming the very land they live on, the Mirabel’s live sharing life with their beautiful daughters, and keeping both their native culture and language alive.
Join us on “the Wolf and the bear…Fireside with Robert and Dawn Mirabal”
