Jan Michael’s band recorded a native rock CD that was distributed to native reservations across the country to support the project, entitled “Breakin’ Free”. Posters and DVDs with a positvre message of walking the red road were also included. However, with dozens of other artists joining the effort, this is just the beginning. This special recording project is based on Jan Michael's lifeway and spiritual outlook which embrasses the tradition of "One Heart" - in short we are ALL related, we are family. |
The Jan Michael Looking Wolf Band (above, left to right): Nathan Myers, Pat McDermott, Jan Michael Looking Wolf, Ledhead Ned, Kenny Sequoia Lewis After playing sold out shows with the band for nearly two years, they hit the studio with producer Keith Sommers and Spirit Wind Records. “Jan Michael’s vocals and music have evolved into a world class act”, says Sommers, “this new CD is like ‘Daughtry’ meets ‘Jethro Tull’ with native flute solos that travel into new places.” Breakin’ Free is much more than a great native rock recording, it also gives a positive message of drug and alcohol prevention for native youth. In addition to the CD, the label released two music videos with the band in concert that shares a story of a native teen resisting the peer pressures of drug abuse. “After winning the award, I wanted to try and give something back”, Jan Michael speaks softly while playing his guitar, “The Native American Music Awards have become a healing force to native communities across the nation by providing recognition of Native artists and through their programs that outreach to some impoverished reservations.” |  |
