A rich soundscape of Native culture is brought to life with the daring instrumentals of Pete "Wyoming" Bender. Influenced by legends and myths surrounding the eagles of America's canyons, Bender's music is a reflection of Comanche heritage. Bender uses driving percussion, haunting flutes, keyboards and chanting to achieve a sound that's more aggressive and rhythm-based than most. It's these modern elements that add to the appeal of CANYON EAGLE, displaying the soul of a distant culture yet incorporating the kind of strong melodies that drive popular music today.
