Little Big Man is a trio that contains three individuals who have a bit of the Cheyenne. Any sounds that budge your pineal gland or move you spiritually is from years of meditation leading up to this decade of understanding. First started from Syd Arthur meeting Maxwell Paris at a local health food store in Nevada City, CA. Where they had so much in common musically including folk/classical/jazz music. 
A few months later Syd was staying at the haunting National Hotel (one of the oldest active hotels on the West Coast) for shelter from the storm, when he invited Maxwell over for beer and acoustical music. Not knowing Maxwell was well versed in Jazzy ukulele progressions and had quite the kick of it. That night they threw at each other originals and covers from Jazz standards to original material. There Syd had the epiphany to eventually get something organized with Maxwell apart of it.
A couple more months later Syd mentioned to Maxwell about a band he and two others were throwing together. The original bassist couldn't make it due to finger fractures so Syd pushed Maxwell to make it to this rehearsal. Max of course made and a proved that he was a perfect specimen of creative expression.
After several evenings of wine-induced songs and harmonies, they knew they were a perfect duo to get some business done. Maxwell thoroughly versed in Jazz theory and Orchestral experiences. Then Syd the chaotic home grown hobo-rigged troubadour of conscious, as well the "Human Jukebox". Surely the chemistry was right to keep some musical balance on the line.
Later on down the line Colour You Like, the original project, fell through and left Maxwell and Syd to begin Little Big Man.
Post playing an open mic at a herbal lounge, Syd ran into Alex Beason. There Arthur and Beason discussed having Cajun (box drum) behind him on his performances. Instantly Syd began spewing the situation of the experimental group Maxwell and he were glueing together. For how persuasive Syd Arthur was to Alex for accompanying him and Maxwell in Little Big Man, also the availability Beason had. Alex Beason had no other choice but to accept his invitation to join their melodic cult. Now they are planning shows and really getting the word out there of the rise and transcendence of Little Big Man.

The Cheyenne, or also known as the 'Human Beings', have a legend of a man named Little Big Man. Who was apart of a big abush of himself against a large number of Pawnee. After killing several of the Pawnee, eventually and inevitably they captured him and executed him by cutting his head off. When they thought he was dead, Little Big Man's body kept killing the rest of the Pawnee there while chanting a special seance from the the mouth of his decapitated head.
