THE LATEST NEWS AND WORLDWIDE HAPPENINGS!!!

After speaking to my old friend Willie Basse of the band “Black Sheep” fame, featuring Slash in the day, (AND WHO AUDITIONED FOR MY BAND “CROWN OF THORNS” AS WELL BACK IN THE DAY!), i’ve decide to perform for a major benefit called; “FEED AMERICA NOW”! I will be performing with the original” Crown of Thorns” rythmn section, Hawk on drums and Michael Paige on bass…bad ass baby!!!

Besides championing for Native American causes, I support any and ALL programs that will take care of our own first. Below is the mission statement for this program. Please support and come see me at the Key Club Nov 17th!

“America is the land of plenty, with more than enough to go around.
But our rapidly changing economy has created a tremendous increase in demand for Food bank food distribution programs.

Our Government is cutting such programs by 20-30%, or eliminating them all together. For 1 in 6 Americans, hunger is a reality. Right now, millions of Americans are struggling with hunger. These are often hard-working, educated adults, children and seniors who simply cannot make ends meet and are forced to go without food for several meals, or even days. Predominately children, working poor families, and the recently unemployed. 1 in 5 children go to bed hungry every night.

The mission at Feed America-Now is to create financial support from Music and Entertainment to feed America’s hungry through Food banks nationwide and engage our country to end hunger”.  www.feedamerica-now.org

It’s Official!!! After meetings with Howard Hewett in LA, Micki Free is on board to tour with Shalamar in 2012!

“My fans know first and foremost I am a solo blues-rock artist, and Howard has his solo career, but in no way do our solo careers interfere with our coming together once again as the Grammy award Winning group Shalamar! “I am excited to tour with Howard again and perform some of the songs that made Shalamar a household name such as our mega smash “Dancing In The Sheets”!

Taking the girl slot in the group is the very talented Carylon Griffey, daughter of record magnet, the late Dick Griffey. Look for Shalamar on tour in your city in 2012!

“Retuning to Arizona will be like a dream come true for me…..I felt like Geronimo while I did my six year stint in Florida”. Taken from the land I love so deeply….Arizona’s new red sand, and thrust into humid, hot VERY uncomfortable weather and strangers. “I’m a northern plains Indian…black shawl Comanche, the horse people…..Arizona i’ve missed you and Sedona!” September I will be coming home for the first time on MY terms to perform songs off my two new CD’s and DVD: “Micki Free American Horse LIVE in Hyde Park, featuring Bill Wyman  formerly of The Rolling Stones and my new blues CD “Tattoo Burn,” both will see a Winter 2011 or Spring 2012 release. Wild Horse Pass Resort is a stellar Native owned property.

I’ve had this CD in the vault with no time to record it. I was approached while living in Sedona AZ by a therapy company to join with them and write a flute cd that could be used in meditation. I’ve always know that flute music is healing and very soothing to the soul so it was a no brainer and I accepted their offer. “Micki Free / Native American Flute & Therapy” is the out come. As you rexlax and meditate the music can be used to heal and unwind. Burn “white sage” as well and feel the warmth and comforting wave of the flute gently sooths your mind. Spa owners, healers, therapists around the world hear me now….coming soon; “Micki Free / Native American Flute & Therapy” is for peace,tranquility and healing of the mind, body and soul.

PRELEASE DATE  SPRING 2012

I am honored to be chosen as “Artist of the Week” for The Americans Veterans Radio!!! I support our troops 100%….my brother-in-law Floyd Riester is a veteran of the NAM…where they kicked ass and took names supporting this great country we call AMERICA!!! I am proud to be Native American and support ALL the veterans that have fought and died so I can play music in the FREE WORLD!!!! Please read below for words from AVR:

Welcome to American Veterans Radio (AVR). AVR first turned on OUR switch (as we like to call it) August 31, 2009 and we are currently the fastest growing and most popular Veteran owned and operated radio station on the internet. AVR is dedicated to OUR Military, 1^st Responders, Indie Artists and without a doubt, the BEST Listeners, in the World: Period! American Veterans Radio allows family and friends of Our Military and 1^st Responders to connect with one another all the while bringing a personal and sincere source of entertainment to OUR great listeners worldwide. AVR brings all of this to the proverbial table without the Bull!@#$ that many other so-called “Veteran Friendly” stations try to disseminate. Founder and Owner DJ Doctor Jim is an U.S. Army Veteran who served eight (8) years and is personally aware of what it’s like to be away from loved ones regardless of the time of the year or location. Doc’s father served in Korea and his son is currently serving as a Combat Medic in the U.S. Army with two (2) tours of Iraq under his belt. AVR’s Mission Statement is to bring a small piece of home to our Military Veterans wherever they may be, to recognize our 1^st Responders for being available 24/7, spotlighting the wonderful talents of the Indie Artist and last but surely not least, bringing great tunes to our Listeners Worldwide – Live!

Micki Free & label-mate Don Chapman will give a “private acoustic concert performance” at this event. “We will be performing songs from my latest CD; Micki Free American Horse, including the smash “Wounded Knee,” as well as songs of Don’s. Don Chapman is a skilled guitarist as well as a live venue seasoned performer….performing acoustically with him will be a treat for me! I will also perform songs on Native American flute, as I have three flute CD’s out on Itunes.com and Amazon.com entitled “The Sunchaser,” “Sedona Free” and “Comanche”. I am looking forward to performing in California for the tribes and playing my flutes again. I have been on tour and or recording much of the last few years while working for the Seminole Tribe Of Florida & Hard Rock Cafe’s worldwide.
