Wade Fernandez is a multi award winning international touring artist from the Menominee Nation Reservation in Wisconsin. He has won numerous awards in many genres and is well versed in many styles of music. Beginning his solo career opening up for Jackson Browne & the Indigo Girls and being invited to perform alongside them has led to a long career with well over 35 international tours. Some people classify his music as Contemporary Native Americana yet he is as comfortable performing solo vocals, acoustic guitar, and native flute at a folk fest as he is onstage jamming electric with his band. His passion to share his music, culture and spirit is reflected in his international presentations in schools (k-college), workshops, and concerts from Woodstock 94 to intimate house concerts. http://www.wadefernandez.com.
