About Michael Weinstein

beauty of Idaho where he found his niche. Michael and his wife live
near Mackay, ID surrounded by what used to be Shoshone land. Since his
youth, Michael has had strong ties to Native American traditions and
beliefs. Much of his inspiration comes while walking through the
Shoshone land where the spirits of the Ancient Ones dwell.
His interest in The Native American flute started several years ago
when he received a small cedar flute as a gift. Michael enjoys sharing
his passion and hopes to impart this to all who listen to his music. He
enjoys exploring all aspects of the Native American flute -
traditional, jazz, blues, etc.

Flute - Michael has been a featured guest on NBC's Channel 6 Morning

record amounts of calls for them. Michael also appeared on NBC in
Boise, ID and CBS in Eugene, OR.
