He has produced several critically and commercially successful Canadian albums of the 1990s, including Barenaked Ladies' Gordon, Spirit of the West's Faithlift, Ashley MacIsaac's Hi™ How Are You Today? and Rheostatics' Whale Music. Wojewoda won a Juno Award in 1994 for best engineer, in 1995, for best producer and again in 2008 for the Barenaked Ladies' Snacktime!.
His credits include albums for The Waltons, Doughboys, Bourbon Tabernacle Choir, Change of Heart, Fifth Column, Great Big Sea and The Jerry Cans.
He replaced Don Kerr as drummer for the Rheostatics in 2001, and remained with the band until their dissolution in 2007.
He was one of the producers, alongside Jon Levine and Chris Birkett, of Buffy Sainte-Marie's Polaris Music Prize-winning 2015 album Power in the Blood.
