| Spirit Wing is
Barbara Christy, Barry Lee and Chris
Hawley. Spirit Wing specializes in Native American Music
consisting of original songs, traditional music, and some cover
tunes that relate well to the Native American experience.
Barbara sings lead vocals and plays percussion and native flute.
Barry sings lead also and plays guitar along with some
percussion. Chris fills in with bass and percussion.
Spirit Wing helped host the Philadelphia
Folk Festival Campfire Sing along and performed at numerous Pow
Wows and native American Gatherings in Pennsylvania along with
Coffee Houses and other venues. Spirit Wing was also
featured at the PhillyFolk 9/11 Benefit Concert. PhillyFolk
is an internet music mailing list hosted by Fortissimo
Folk Music.
Barbara spent time in the singing with a
Rock and Roll band while in high school that was accomplished
enough to do the "road band touring" for several
years, including radio and TV appearances.
Barry has been entertaining for over 30
years and has been on several radio programs and is a familiar
attendee at folk and bluegrass festivals in the Mid-Atlantic
states. He also runs a successful adult guitar course called
"Back Porch Guitar" which is featured at both the YMCA
and Owen J. Roberts adult school curriculum.
Chris Hawley has been in many genres of
music playing bass guitar. He was asked to sit in on the
recording of Ancient Spirit Voices. Barbara and Barry were so
impressed with his work ethic and commitment to 'getting it
right' they decided he would be just the addition they needed
for performing their music. His playing has added depth to
Spirit Wing's live performance and he is the lead singer when
they go to traditional music on the drum.
Listen to Spirit Wing and sense the deep
respect for a people's history, spirituality and experiences.
