Wenonah is a traditional, "straight ahead" jazz vocalist with her own band who has performed in many public and private forums for many years. Wenonah has performed with such well known jazz artists as Houston Person, Shirley Horn, Stanley Jordan, Winard Harper, Ralph Peterson, Dave Kikowski, Steve Nelson, Cecil Brooks III and Dennis DeBlasio. Wenonah recently formed a group that performs what she calls "fun/bar" jazz. The group consists of organ, guitar, drums and vocalist. She enjoys working with that group as much as she enjoys her more traditional piano, bass, drums and vocalist. Either group can add additional instrumentation by request such as saxophone, etc.... Wenonah is a fan of straight ahead fun dance music that keeps you moving either on the dance floor or in your seat. Her ballads make you close your eyes and dream.
