Artist Pick of the Week-Timo Standing Buffalo

Timo “Standing Buffalo” Cano is a man with many talents…Writer, Singer, Player of several instruments, friend, and one with spirit

Timo began his walk with the music many years ago, but didn’t release his first solo album until 2007, titled Feathers and Blades. This, his first offering was a fantastic mix of both Native American, and smooth Jazz, as Timo walked us through the beginnings of the tapestry he’s been given the opportunity to weave. Through song, vocal storytelling, and through his music, Timo begins to tell us of his long journey to become the person that he is today, and his hopes for the future

His next album, A Place Called Home has been well received by everyone who’s had the chance to hear the music from this CD. A departure from his 1st album which was more Native American in tone and scope, Timo serves up a truly fascinating Smooth Jazz CD, with songs like “A Place Called Home”, My Heart’s Been Spoken To, and many more.

Timo’s also an activist for world peace, and late last year recorded “On The Road To Mandalay” to help the efforts of the Burmese people, and their plight to shape their own democracy.

Timo’s been working hard on his education of late, saying that “Everyone can learn something new every day” and to prove that, he’s embarked on a class schedule to learn how to engineer, and produce his own CD’s, Become a member of BMI, and started his own label, called Healing Sky Records, and a Publishing company as well.

Timo’s  also been hard at work forming the band, and has joined forces with Bill Reyes, and Tom Chichetti to start his 3rd studio album to be released soon. He’s released the 1st single titled “Sleep With Your Angels”, and the folks here at RG had the chance to debut this Phenomenal track which is dedicated to our armed forces around the world.

Timo’s Also entered “Iva” into consideration for the Native American Music Awards Vocalist of The Year, and Song of The Year Awards. Iva Tells the story of Olympian Jim Thorpe, the first Native American to enter the 1912 Olympic Games.
