I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time. Today, I finally get to share something brand new with you—something that brings our NDN All-Stars stories to life in a whole new way.
Introducing NDN All-Stars: The Recording Sessions – Vol. 1.
This is more than an album. It’s twelve original songs about some of the greatest Native athletes of all time. From Jim Thorpe to Shoni Schimmel, from Louis Sockalexis to Johnny Bench, each track tells a story in rhythm, melody, and soul.
You’ll hear a mix of styles—country rock, blues, ballads, even a little yacht rock flavor—that make each athlete’s story stand out. And just like the blog and podcast, every song celebrates Native pride, history, and achievement.
Here’s the lineup (click each one to hear a sample):
