Professional BIO

The SilverCloud Singers are an intertribal Native American singing & dance troupe weaving the traditional with the contemporary of Native song & dance. SilverCloud was founded in 1991 and takes its name in tribute of Josephine Mofsie Tarrant, the mother of founding members Kevin Tarrant and Michael Tarrant, and current members Donald Tarrant and Judy Tarrant Fields. The singers of SilverCloud come from many tribes, and from many parts of the U.S and Canada. The group was started with the intention of using traditional methods of Native culture as a means to educate through song and dance.

In the last 10 years Silvercloud has not only become one of the premier singing groups on the east coast, but throughout the country as well. Silvercloud has competed and placed at Schemitzun-The World Championship of Native Song and Dance. They have also appeared at numerous Pow-Wows across the United States including the Denver March Pow Wow, The Gathering of Nations Pow-Wow, and the Canadian Aboriginal Festival held in the Sky Dome in Toronto. SilverCloud was also honored to have served as one of the Host Drums for Schemtizun 1999.

SilverCloud is proud to announce the release of their newest CD, "Visions from the City", a new CD of original songs. In addition to their previous recordings they were also happy to work with Robbie Robertson and Ulali on the soundtrack for the TNT network series "Native Americans".
