Recognized by the Associated Press as “the most critically acclaimed Native American singer of her time,” Grammy-winning musician and humanitarian Joanne Shenandoah of the Oneida Nation has been celebrated far and wide for her haunting, eloquent compositions. With a deep, powerful voice, Shenandoah blends the ancient songs of the Iroquois with her socially conscious philosophies to create songs that are both beautiful and deeply affecting. She has performed to enthusiastic crowds throughout the United Sates, including numerous television appearances, multiple presidential inaugurations, and performances at Carnegie Hall, the White House, and Woodstock.
“She weaves you into a trance with her beautiful Iroquois chants and wraps her voice around you like a warm blanket on a cool winter’s night.” – Robbie Robertson
