Christian Wallowing Bull

Christian Wallowing Bull is an indigenous singer-songwriter who works in the folk style with a subtle rock accent, often in a stripped down set up and performing on his acoustic guitar while his gruff, gravely voice evokes a sense of the dry, dusty, and sun-beaten wide expanse of the western landscape. His cultural roots are reflected strongly in his music in terms of his cadence and the native pulse that permeates the drumming style he gravitates to. The folklore of the Northern Arapaho tribe and life in the reservation factor a great deal in the storytelling that goes into his songs. His melodies tend to be more on the understated side, but they do stay with the listener.
