Arigon Starr
Native American Diva Arigon Starr presents BACKFLIP, her
third collection of insightful, fun and entertaining songs. Arigon weaves a tale
of contemporary Native America with songs about salmon, pow-wows, Native
veterans and stories from her own colorful history. Her stories from the road
are set to country, rock and pop beats and provide listeners with their own map
to the heart of Indian country.

Wind-Up
Arigon Starr
WIND-UP is the second release from award-winning Native American singer Arigon
Starr. Arigon's powerful vocals are front and center, as she takes you on a
musical journey through Native America. The rock, pop, funk and country tunes
provide an excellent backdrop to stories as bold as the occupation of Alcatraz
Island and as humorous as the story of pow-wow veteran Junior Frybread. She is
an artist who is as comfortable opening for the likes of Hank Williams III as
she is playing for a group of Indian elders. WIND-UP is the music of an edgy,
clever Native American woman surviving in a very contemporary world.

Meet
The Diva
Arigon Starr
Aficionados of the three-minute pop masterpiece, meet your Diva, Arigon Starr. Her debut CD MEET THE DIVA deftly captures the spirit of contemporary Native America. Blending powerful imagery drawn from the spirit of Indian Country with her love of traditional pop music, Arigon's music is a spicy mix of pop and rock, with a deliberate dash of humor. This unique concoction of melody, grunge and sophisticated song structure has become known to the legion of Arigon Starr fans as "Native American Alternapop."
