A mystic morning, on a pure & clear wilderness lake...
A gentle breeze sweeps through causing the water to lap gently upon the granite shoreline,
The song of a hidden loon and the slap of a beavers tail pierce the air as they prepare for the coming day...
Here awakens the Catcher of Dreams.
Why this name?
After sweat, I was given a talisman in the form of a beaded hawk talon, by my wife's father, a Mandan medicine man.
This great and spiritual man explained to me that many years before, he was given the same talisman by an elder Lakota medicine man who told him that the day would come when he would know it was time to give it away...On the day he gave me the talon, he also gave me the name,
"The Catcher"
Do you play live?
Alot more recently in the rejuvinated K.C. Music scene....
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
By allowing bands a forum to have their music heard worldwide the internet has given the music industry a new face, as well as giving independent artists a voice and a way to make a dime.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Hell Yeah!
Band History:
DreamCatcher is an eclectic meeting of Rock-n-roll, Blues, Bluegrass, Country, Jazz, and Native American genres.
Based on a wide array of themes, the songs can be soothing & flowing, to hard & shocking
with lyrics that take you to other
places and times very effectively.

You never know where you're going to go when you listen to a DreamCatcher song,
because you are listening to a dream,

Dreams are limitless and unconfined
in the imagination.

With quickly moving melodies and smashing bottom ends,
this intelligent blend of harmonic and sometimes creatively dissonant intervallic structure, and passionate storytelling that spans centuries, truly defies any specific genre.

So listen carefully children,
listen to the lives of the more, and less fortunate,
the revered, and the downtrodden,
the young, and the old,
the loved, and the unloved.

Hear the places,
places of extreme beauty, harsh terrain,
or dirty squalor.

Listen to the hearts of centuries of American people much like yourselves,
who have persevered against all odds.

And Catch their Dreams!
