Joy Harjo and the Arrow Dynamics Band
Best known for her stark, powerful poems, Joy Harjo
(Mvskoke/Creek Nation) has won the William Carlos Williams Award from
the Poetry Society of America and the Lifetime Achievement Award from
the Native Writers Circle of the Americas. Her
memoir, Crazy Brave, won the 2013 PEN Center USA Literary Award for
Creative Nonfiction. With her band, she plays a raucous sax, sings and
speaks her poetry, and unites Native American music with jazz and rock.
The Arrow Dynamics Band features Joy Harjo (saxophone,
vocals), Larry Mitchell (guitar), Howard Cloud (bass), and Tony James
(drums).
