This coming Tuesday, August 27th, at 7:30 ET/6:30 CT Wade Fernandez will perform a free online concert titled, "Honoring Grandmother Earth and Protecting the Waters of the Great Lakes - an Evening of Music with Wade Fernandez." Sponsored by the Great Lakes Spirituality Project and the Perennial Waters Project, and co-sponsored by nine additional organizations, this concert for the Great Lakes will be a wonderful evening of music and conversation. If you're interested in taking part, you can register here.
Wade Fernandez / Wicīwen Apīs-Mahwaew (Walks With The Black Wolf) is a deeply authentic, multi-award winning international touring artist and educator from the Menominee Nation. During the evening, he'll be sharing his music and also his passion to educate, serve the community, and honor Grandmother Earth as we consider how we can protect the waters of the Great Lakes.
Winning numerous awards in multiple musical genres, Fernandez's musical and educational style know no bounds. Beginning his solo music career joining Jackson Browne & the Indigo Girls onstage has led to a long career with over 70 international tours rocking and soothing stages from Woodstock 94 to the Kennedy Center. His music and his message are firmly grounded in his Menominee Reservation roots and love for the land, animals, and people. A passion to educate, share music, serve community, share culture and honor Grandmother Earth is reflected in Wade's global presentations, speaking events, work with schools (k-college), workshops, serving the elderly, the mentally disabled, the incarcerated, and the youth.
