Album Notes

Jason Chamakese has been honing his skills as a Native American Flute player for the last 10 years. Self-taught, his music has been described as haunting and timeless. He hails from the Pelican Lake First Nation and was raised with a deep respect for his Cree language and traditions. His interest in traditional stories and songs led him to discover the Native American Flute nearly a decade ago and he has since produced his debut CD entitled “Midnight at Clearwater, Native American Flute songs, volume 1.” Jason cites world-renowned flute players Kevin Locke and William Gutierrez as his greatest influences. Drawing from the wealth of songs from his Plains Cree culture and his own personal experiences, Jason takes his listeners on a journey through the canyons and mesas of the American southwest to the pristine lakeshores of Northern Saskatchewan.
