Robin "Whispering Butterfly" Clark Guthrie
Native American flutist
A little over four years ago, music was just a childhood dream. Becoming a musical artist, composer, and writer was not something I thought would ever happen as my life took a very different path from my dream as a child to one of servant, healer, and nurse. Since I began playing the flute, I have been led back to my Native American ancestry. It has ignited the flame burning in my heart since I was young and has completed a cultural circle that my family drifted away from years ago. I was not brought up in or exposed to my Native American culture. Born and still residing in Halifax County, Virginia, I have always known of my ancestry and heritage but I had no real knowledge of the language, traditions, or various styles of Native American music. Once the flute entered my life, it was as if it had been in my hands and heart all my life.
My journey with the Native American flute has brought me opportunities to perform and take part in Native American cultural events in Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. During these past years my music has shared air time with other Native American artist from around the country on WRIR 97.3 with Katie Tall Feathers and the Inter Tribal Radio out of Richmond, Virginia. Native Radio.com Internet Radio out of Taos, NM as well as Gathering of Nations Internet Radio hosted by Beulah Sunrise and KANW Monday night show hosted by Beulah Sunrise out of Albuquerque, NM.
JOURNEY WITHIN, my first CD, was released in 2006. MOTHER EARTH CRIES a single was released in May of 2007. My third CD, VISIONS was released April 2008. I have recorded with Native American flutist and artist Stuart Three Crows Cardwell, Lyndall Sargent, contemporary Christian artist and flutist and his wife Karen Sargent, percussionist. In January 2009, I recorded for composer and musician John Catney for his CD, THE RACER'S EDGE. I am also a member of the International Native American Flute Association (INAFA) and Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI).
I play and sing for my Creator before all others and I am thankful that I get to share this gift with you. Aho!

Why this name?
The name Whispering Butterfly is the name given to me by an elder. As for the group I had thought about "In The Wind", but have not decided for sure on a group name.
Do you play live?
I play live at cultural events, weddings, church when asked and have played live on radio. I consider anytime I play a special moment, but the very first time I was asked to play in the Pauwau circle was a very special honor.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it has made it easier for artist to be heard around the world as well as given the listners the ability to hear music and contact artist around the world.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, I think I would.
