Kieran DeVerniero is a master drummer and percussionist, as well as a shamanic healer and elder in the Native American Church. He has been drumming since he was 2 years old, and rhythm has always been a driving force in his life. His father, John Wooden Legs, was the spiritual and political leader of the tribe and taught Kieran traditional drumming, while his mother taught him tribal spiritual practices. Kieran plays a variety of instruments, including drums, flute, keyboard, guitar and harmonica.

His background includes:

• Musical compositions for Aldus Corporation in Seattle, WA

• Soundtrack creation for Long Range Productions "Silent Victory"

• Performance at numerous international events

• Nationally recognized rhythm workshop trainer and speaker

• Certified Rhythm Facilitator

Kieran holds a fine arts degree with a minor in music from Montana State University with advanced education at the University of Washington.

For the last 12 years his life has been dedicated to serving others by improving their health through healing music and rhythmic sound therapy.

At the heart of all of his powerful, effective, musical compositions are the unique healing rhythm patterns of what is now known as U-Tao-Chi (pronounced oo-dow-CHEE) - a new kind of music for meditation and healing by combining Native American spiritual rhythms with Chinese I-Ching patterns.

He currently lives in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho with his wife Donna and Tigger the Cat.
