Statement

Joe & The Blue Butterfly features the haunting sounds of Brent Michael Davids? quartz crystal flute and the curio altered-tuning guitar style of Joe Myers. Davids and Myers have been performing and recording together for over a decade, and it shows. Both are master artists in their own right, and they seemlessly blend their dexterity together into songs that enrich the soul. You?ll not find the echo-laden musings of collage-like sound effects, soupy reverb, and instrumental noodlings here, Butterfly is a highly-crafted collection of songs constructed by an award-winning composer and a virtuosic guitarist.
Davids, whose Mohican name is Blue Butterfly, is a young composer whose music moves between the worlds of the Kronos Quartet, Joffrey Ballet, National Symphony Orchestra and Native American Song. Davids, a member of the Mohican Nation, is an internationally recognized Composer and he performs on handmade flutes of quartz crystal. Myers is a rare guitarist. Opening for the likes of Tori Amos, The Neville Brothers, and Adrian Belew, Myers is a physical and percussive player. The spirit and vitality of his music, and his technical acuity, are what make Myers so distinct. Together, Davids and Myers create the extraordinary and stylish Joe & The Blue Butterfly. The CD features the themes from the live-performance version of the Paramount film "Silent Enemy," as well as the popular radio talk show "Native America Calling."
