Music Review

Chester Knight and his band the Wind have performed across North America, including an appearance at a GRAMMY showcase last year. Knight won a JUNO in the Aboriginal Recording of the Year category in 2000 for Falling Down, and his current CD Standing Strong is nominated this year in the same catergory.

Standing Strong blends rock power with a First Nations spirit and has been well received in Canada and the United States. His single Love Fades Away is at Number 2 on the National Aboriginal Top 30 hits list, compiled by Aboriginal radio stations NCI in Manitoba, Missinipi in Saskatchewan, and CFWE, the Native Perspective in Alberta. CFWE is owned and operated by the Aboriginal Multi-Media Society, publisher of Windspeaker. The Top 30 list is based in large part on listener input. Artists can send their newly released CDs to our new home at 13245-146 St. Edmonton, AB; T5L 4S8, attention the station manager.
