About Hovia Edwards, Native American flute

The newest star in the firmament of Native American flutists is Hovia Edwards of Shoshone-Navajo-Okanogan heritage. A second generation flutist, Hovia performs original and traditional melodies in a style that is fluid and youthful yet with a surprising maturity for an artist so young.
