Canyon Records has been a corporate sponsor of the Heard Museum Indian Fair & Market since 2002. This year we decided to host a Canyon Records Showcase to present Canyon artists away from the Heard’s main stage. The more intimate setting of the Ben-Horin Garden allowed people to get close to our artists and to take a break from their adventures around the Market. Our first Showcase featured Louie Gonnie, Anthony Wakeman, Clark Tenakhongva (who also presents as an artist), Gabriel Ayala, and Aaron White (who gallantly performed guitar and flute music on Sunday during a rainstorm). Gabriel was joined by Will Clipman  who had appeared with R. Carlos Nakai and William Eaton on the main stage. Will, who performs with Gabe as Duo Sonora (Canyon will release the pair’s newest release next summer), is seen here playing a cajon. However, all Canyon artists were upstaged by a surprise performer (watch this blog).
