History of Performer / Band |
Vito
De La Cruz - Vito De La Cruz is an accomplished
singer, songwriter and one of the driving forces behind
Spirit Wind. Also a wonderfully well versed instrumentalist,
who plays guitars, Native American flute, harmonica
and percussion. He and Paula are the main songwriters
in the band.
Paula Burris - Paula Burris is an experienced and seasoned
veteran of musical groups from California and Nevada.
Along with Vito, Paula contributes to the songwriting
and her incredible vocal talents bring a lustrous harmonic
shade to many of the Spirit Wind compositions. Paula
also blends her acoustic guitar and flute playing to
the mix.
Ken Daniels - Ken has been making music for many years
with a wide variety of musical ensembles. His bass playing
is both subtle and distinctive. His acoustic lead work
is best described as ethereal and penetrating. Ken and
Paula have played together before and bring a warm cohesion
and familiarity to the band's sound.
Steve Brennan - Steve Brennan is the band's multi-talented
drummer/percussionist and back-up vocalist. Steve brings
a steadiness to Spirit Wind born out of years playing
with Northern Nevada bands and, more so, playing with
Ken and Paula. Steve's bag of toys is always open for
experimentation with new sounds.
Steve Johnson rocks but is a mystery. Someday we may
learn more about him. |
