In late April 2010 Canyon Records recording artist Opie Day-Bedeau (Bois Forte Band of Minnesota Chippewas) entered the studio to work on his debut solo recording.  The recording titled “One Love” will be comprised of Round Dance songs and is set to be released through Canyon Records this summer. Opie is best known as head singer for the championship Pow-Wow group Midnite Express as well having sat with some of the best drum groups of the last two decades including Eyabay and The Boyz.  Recently, Opie has been sharing his excellent Round Dance songs with fans all over Pow-Wow country and in 2009 he released a Round Dance album with good friend and respected singer Mike Sullivan, Sr. (Lac Courte Orielles Ojibwe) entitled “Love, Lies & Lullabies.” During the session for the new solo album, Opie and the Canyon Records studio were visited by Terry St. John and Gee Yellowbird members of the legendary drum group Eyabay (Red Lake Chippewa Nation)
