KEEPING UP WITH THE DIVA!
Arigon Starr is running amok!
As you probably know, 2009 is already off to a fast start. We sure hope everyone out there is having a decent time and not suffering as much as the nightly news would have everyone believe. Arigon has been criss-crossing Southern California and is currently whooping it up in Las Vegas. No kidding! AAAY! She did want everyone to make sure to tune their radios to KPFK 90.7 FM next week. Here's the scoop:
AMERICAN INDIAN AIRWAVES -- WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18 FROM 2:00PM TO 4:00PM PACIFIC TIME -- Yep, it's the annual "Indigenous Comedy Day" featuring legendary comedian Charlie Hill. Arigon joins Charlie for two full hours of comedy and music. Also appearing will be musician/writer Joy Harjo and some other surprise guests. You can listen to the show on the radio in the Southern California area by tuning in to 90.7 FM. If you're anywhere else, direct your browser to KPFK-FM and click on their live stream. Hilarity is already in the planning, so be sure to tune in. The show will also be broadcast on a later date via Gregg McVicar's "Bay Native Circle" show on KPFA-FM in Berkeley. As soon as we get an airdate, we'll let you know!

LIBRARY GIG ON JANUARY 24TH IN SAN MARCOS, CA -- Arigon will be making a live performance stop at the San Diego Public Library in San Marcos, CA. Yes, it's an unusual site for a gig, but because Arigon knocked the socks off of one of the head honchos at her stop this year at the American Library Association's annual conference in Anaheim, she has been invited to be part of their World Music Series. The show goes on at 7:00pm and the library is located at 2 Civic Center Drive, San Marcos, CA 92069. Their phone number is (760) 891-3000. The show is free, so come on down and hear your Diva favorites and possibly some new songs, too!
"RED INK" AT THE MIXED BLOOD THEATER IN MINNEAPOLIS -- SHOW TO RUN FROM FROM APRIL 23 THROUGH MAY 17 -- Good news for all you Diva fans in Minnesota! Arigon will be part of an ensemble cast of the new play being produced by Minneapolis' Mixed Blood Theater. The featured playwrights are Rhiana Yazzie, Diane Glancy, Drew Hayden Taylor....and Arigon Starr! The play is a series of short plays about contemporary Native issues and will include Arigon's short play "Native American Idol." The tickets are already on sale -- and all the info for getting tickets is on our "Diva Live" page.
NEW PLAYS A-GO GO -- One of the reasons Arigon has been quiet this summer/fall is that she has been writing TWO new stage plays. She completed two new plays -- both with music involved. They both have lots of humor -- and we'll have more information for you about these projects soon!
SUPER INDIAN IN THE WORKS -- We've seen some of the finished pages from the SUPER INDIAN graphic novel and we think you are all going to be blown away! Arigon has promised some super-sneak peaks....so watch this space.
