What They're Saying

A compelling storyteller, Napoleon writes heartfelt, revealing and downright spiritual songs about people, events, lies & possibilities…songs about life on the red road, life in the four directions and everyday life in the big wide world.

— Sandy Scofield, Singer/songwriter

If you’re a fan of solid roots music with a strong emotional subtext, this is one singer-songwriter you should remember…this is good music for both cowboys and Indians.

— John Threlfall, Monday Magazine

Art brings a hopeful observer’s and teacher’s eye to all he sees around him…he straddles both worlds and his music showcases it…in the end, the world is a better place for having Art Napoleon’s music a part of it.

— Les Siemieniuk, Penguin Eggs Magazine

His mournful ballads of remorse and longing are nicely balanced with a playful wit, stories and songs of hope and courage.

— Linda Tanaka, Director, Salmon Arm Roots & Blues Festival

[Miyoskamin] presents a potent distillation of First Nations rhythms and chants with that high, lonesome Northern Canadian country/folk sound...

— Stuart Derdyn, The Province, Vancouver

Art Napoleon is a classic example of what a good songwriter should be. He writes about what he knows - the land, the lifestyle of the people where he lives and the challenges he and they face... His songs deal with the upsides and down-sides of life on the reserve and with the challenges involved in dealing with mainstream society. They're the kind of songs that could only be written by somebody who has lived that experience...

— Doug Simpson, Artistic Director, Vancouver Folk Music Festival

Napoleon is big man with an even bigger voice.

— Dominic Lloyd, Artistic Director, Dawson City Music Festival
