Native American vocalizer Joanne Shenandoah is a fellow member of the Wolf Clan of the Oneida Nation, Iroquois Confederacy. Her parents, Maisie Shenandoah, a Clanmother, and the late Clifford Shenandoah, an Onondaga gaffer and jazz guitarist, loved music and named Joanne "Tek-ya-wha-wha," which means "she sings" in the Oneida language. As a baby, Joanne learned all the tribal songs and studied voice, cross flute, pianoforte, clarinet, guitar, and cello. She draws upon her rich inheritance, so far hind end bring these songs into a contemporary mise en scene.


In 1994, Shenandoah panax quinquefolius at the Woodstock Festival and has appeared on and created healthy tracks for numerous television shows, most notably Northern Exposure and How the West Was Lost. She has performed and recorded with many realized musicians in Europe and America, including pianist/composer Peter Kater, Neil Young, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson, Jackson Browne, and Rita Coolidge. From traditional chants to contemporaneous ballads of Native slipway, her music has been described as an emotional experience, a "Aboriginal American trance."


Shenandoah is the cofounder and president of Round Dance Productions, a not-for-profit educational Native-operated foundation dedicated toward the preservation of Iroquois culture. Round Dance has begun to initiate activities which will consequence in the instauration of a Native American traditional music archive, playacting arts centre, and recording studio. In 1993, Shenandoah was prestigious with the "Native American of the Year" award, and the future year she was awarded "Native Musician of the Year," from the First Americans in the Arts Foundation. Shenandoah has recorded on the Canyon Records and Silver Wave Records labels since then, delivering a sometimes patched simply always reliable array of Native American music. Highlights of her catalog include 1997's strong and solemn Matriarch: Iroquois Women's Songs and 2001's politically motivated Eagle Cries.
