Indie Business Member in the News: Joseph RiverWind of @NativeTouchLLC is Taino Musician of the Year!

by David Boling

Of course you know Indie Business members make great products, but what you may not know is that one of them in particular also makes great music. Josephy Riverwind, who operates Native Touch, LLC, in the mountains of western North Carolina with his wife, Laralyn, was named Musician of the Year at the Taino Awards hosted by The Bronx Museum a few weeks ago.

RiverWind

Each year, a council of Native American Taino elders chooses accomplished members from across all of the Taino tribes to honor at the Taino Awards. Joseph Riverwind is their choice this year for Musician of the Year, and we are thrilled for him.

Thank you, Joseph and Laralyn, for sharing your gifts with us on so many levels.

Connect with Joseph and Laralyn at their FaceBook Page, and on Twitter.
