Janine & Friends: An Evening of Folk Country!

Join me for an evening of Folk & Country, w/guest vocalists and an absolutely stellar band! On our set list: folk songs old & new (CSNY, Paul Simon, David Berkeley), classic country songs from the 1950s and 60s (Hoyt Axton, Patsy Cline, the Everly Brothers) and newer tunes by alt-country singer/songwriters Gillian Welch & David Rawlings. Love songs, peace songs, freedom songs. Backing us are the always-fabulous Bill Kopper (guitar), Peter Huffaker (bass), Clare Church (drums), and special guests Kieran Boes and Paula Jayne Friedland.

Why folk & country? Well, the earliest music I heard growing up were albums by Johnny Cash, Joan Baez, and Peter, Paul & Mary. From them I discovered singing in harmony, and also learned about justice and the power of peaceful means to make change. A love for Patsy Cline's music followed, and I started performing her songs and even appeared as an extra in the biopic about her amazing life, SWEET DREAMS. I return to this music whenever I can, and am especially glad to sing these songs with my son and my best friend.

NOTE: Funds from this show will also support my upcoming choir tour to New York City's CARNEGIE HALL this May (!!!) So come on out, y'all!
