About Us
Janie and Joe have been busy these last eighteen months on a combination of
projects that will be of interest to fans old and new...
Two brand new CD releases came out this Summer, the first titled "SOUND OF
WINGS" an all-instrumental sound track of their lives and the different
kinds of music they write and play-from a Cajun two-step Frog in the Grass and
soft dark Blues tunes Cellophane Heart and Lost Angel to Celtic acoustic
journeys Bumpy road to Knock area and Rainy Tuesday #4 as well as two diverse
cuts: one exploring a Led Zepplinish-middle eastern flavor-Karavan and another
called "Da Vinci's Blues" that sounds like a classic Italianate piece.
Also released: "POSTCARDS FROM A TINY AMERICAN TOWN." A double album
of twenty one song-stories or "postcards" telling diverse tales of
love lost and found, moody and sometimes angry blues-infused pictures of a
troubled and changing America searching for answers and some socially conscious
rockin' commentary on the state of our sometimes brave and fearful world as well
as the interior emotional world we all inhabit with hope for a better tomorrow.
Janie’s lyrics tell stories often inspired by the places and people she meets
on her back road travels across America. On this outing her voice is captured in
a way that is closest to her emotional live performances. Janie sings lead
vocals and plays keyboard, percussion, Bodhran and sings backing vocals.
Joe plays an army of instruments on these two c.d.s: All acoustic and electric
guitars in various tunings (including slide) mandolin, bass and some keys and
backing vocals.
Both CDs are getting lots of Airplay on various Radio formats and some film
soundtracks and television deals are in the works.
Janie and Joe have shared the bill with such diverse acts as Nick Vigarino,
Country Joe McDonald, Nickle Creek, Laura Love, Sinead O¹Connor and Scottish
band, The Proclaimers.
