Tribal Native Fusion

Think Braveheart and Last of the Mohicans, and you'll understand why Arvel Bird 's music speaks directly to the souls of millions of mixed-blood people who claim both American Indian and Celtic ancestries.

Arvel is a multi-instrumental entertainer crossing many musical boundaries in his remarkable performances.

While his early education provided him a solid foundation in classical training, his musical journey has taken him across the planet to expand his repertoire performing many genres under the heading of "world music".

Arvel is equally known for his many fiddle styles of bluegrass, blues, celtic, classical, contemporary Native American, country, contemporary jazz, Metis, and R & B from which he just as easily switches to non-traditional styles of Native American Indian flute; jazz, blues, R & B and Celtic. This fusion of instruments and styles can only be described as Tribal Native Fusion.
