the Wolf and the bear Network

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...

Kelly Montijo (pronounced Mont –ee –ho) Fink, singer /“song catcher” (Mexican, Apache, & Spanish) was born in California but now resides in the Midwest.  She has been singing for as long as she can remember & has performed everything from musical theater, pop, Italian opera, and madrigal arrangements, to mariachi music & Native drum songs.

Kelly considers herself a “song catcher” rather than a song writer.  She rarely sits down to write a song, but rather observes, hears, and sees truth & then allows the words and melodies flow from there.  Many of her songs are birthed from prayer, dreams, visions, and personal revelations.

In 2010 Kelly released her second CD titled “Songs of War and Victory – overcoming the battles we face” where she tackles such themes as identity, complacency, restoration, healing, & overcoming adverse circumstance.  She collaborated with other like-minded artists on this project such as Jan Michael Looking Wolf, Sean Murphy (formerly of “Fighter”), Pete Raine (The 100’s), Doug Johnson (formerly of “Leven” & “Tragedy Verses”), the Zach & Sarah band, as well as others, demonstrating that we can not win life’s battles alone.

In 2011, Kelly (along with 20 other native ladies) were awarded the Native American Music Award for “Best Compilation CD” for their work on “The Color of Hope”, an album Kelly c0-produced and contributed to musically.

Kelly’s heart is to see & help people walk in freedom in every aspect of their lives.

Tonight 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.”

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”
