“Advancing and Promoting Indigenous Art”

Having been featured on NPR, Yahoo, MIC.com, SiriusXM, TED Talks and more, D’DAT has been described as “Funky, Poetic, Complex, Forward Thinking, Outside the Box, and Bad Mothers” for good reason. Combining the inspirational and heartfelt lyrics of James “Just Jamez” Pakootas with the hard- driving instrumental fire of award-winning trumpet player Delbert Anderson, the deep funk of international touring artist and drummer Nicholas Lucero, and the intellectually explorative and expanding groove of Mike McCluhan on bass, D’DAT has carved its own path with high desert-forged influences and world-class musicianship.
