THE BADLANDERS BIO
Close your eyes.... Hear the sounds of soaring, heartfelt vocals.... Hear the guitars, gritty and tough in one moment, gentle and organic in the next.... Then the flute comes, out of nowhere, into forever, offering its sacred voice to these sounds of the heart.... And then the drums, new and old, rhythmic, pulsing and driving, become one with this new earth born musical expression....

The Badlanders.... Two hard workin' blue jean clad dudes with strong hands and strong hearts.... Not men of steel, but men of stone and fire.... Born of Native blood, they ride the wind, releasing their songs from the deep places within.... Songs of sacrifice, passion, pain and love.... Songs of struggle, truth, sadness and beauty.... Songs from the heart, about the mystery of life, from the secret, hidden places inside.... Two heartland guys with strong arms and stronger hearts, guitars in hand, take the stage and lean into the mic.... The legend begins....
