| Mark ThunderWolf is a Native American flutist and recording artist of Lakota and Eastern Band Cherokee Wolf Clan descent. He was born in Chattanooga, TN, the son of a musician who had mastered many instruments during his lifetime. As a child, Mark watched and listened to his father play guitar, fiddle, organ and piano all by ear. Mark often dreamed of being a musician on stage and as a teenager bought an acoustic twelve-string guitar and later a dobro acoustic guitar but never quite connected with either instrument. While in high school he was given a harmonica and quickly mastered it playing along with popular songs on the radio. Over the years he jammed with friends and bands at bars and made many guest appearances with local bands across the country but always felt something was missing. In the spring of 2001 while working in southern California he visited a wolf sanctuary where the woman who ran it gifted him his first flute. Mark cannot read or write music but as his father had taught him to do with any instrument began playing by ear. It didnt take long to for him to learn the rudiments of the Native American instrument. As he practiced every weekend at the sanctuary the wolves, eagles, redtail hawks and ravens taught him how to connect to them though his flutes. He sold his beloved Harley-Davidson named Ethel and used the money to record his first CD, Thru the Eyes...of My Brother after playing for only eight months. During the past five years Mark's Native American flute music has developed an explosive following across North America and the United Kingdom where he has been featured several times on the BBC World Series program and network. The Celtic regions of the UK and France air his music regularly and love the ethereal, haunting sounds of his music. His stage appearances and performances include the US and Canada, being the featured artist on NativeRadio.com and a recent interview with NPR, which aired in September and November of 2004. He has received nominations in the Native American Music Awards (NAMMYs), received 2nd Place for Best Album in the 2004 Just Plain Folks Music Awards in November 2004 and most recently selected as a showcase performer for the 17th Annual Folk Alliance International Music Conference in Montreal, Canada. Therapists, doctors and people everywhere are recognizing the healing quality of the meditative music that he is given by the animals and living elements of the earth. |

We, as Native Americans, wrap ourselves in the earth's music... the wind, the rain, the babbling brook. Mark ThunderWolf |
| When I first started this journey, I had no idea that I would come across so many people filled with such spirituality. The music that I play is from my heart and reflects my feelings of my Lakota and Cherokee heritage. I also feel that is it our responsibility to care for our brothers and sisters of the universe and to do what Wankan Tankan (Great Spirit) sent us here to do. I am honored to speak on behalf of all the wolves and for all the earth mother's children. You have touched my heart... I hope that I have touched yours. Mitakuye Oyasin, Mark ThunderWolf |
