WP:BLP of a musician, with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC and no strong reliable source coverage to carry him over WP:GNG in lieu. The strongest notability claim here is winning an award ("Indian Summer Music Award") that is not major enough to pass NMUSIC #8 in and of itself; while this tries to drag the word "Grammy" into things to make him sound more notable, he was not a Grammy nominee in his own right, but merely a session musician on somebody else's album (which is not a notability freebie at all). And performing at "numerous nationally advertised powwows, festivals, and churches" only counts as a pass of NMUSIC #4 (touring) if media produce and publish editorial content about the tour (e.g. concert reviews), and is not an automatic pass just because touring has been stated. But the only sources here are a blurb's worth of content about him in an overview article about one festival, and a brief glancing mention of his existence in a press release about a new age seminar. This is not enough coverage to make him notable, but the article claims nothing about him that's "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be sourced much better than this.
