Janna Audey

Janna Audey has been singing professionally for 18 years. Spanning the genres of theater to rock, she has discovered her niche as a singer/songwriter, emulating a contemporary style similar to Jewel and Natalie Merchant. Her powerful voice weaves in and out of her defining lyrics and simple guitar playing, taking the listener to distant, yet familiar, places. Listening to Janna perform is an experience, such an experience that one of her fans coined it as "musical yoga".

Janna has been performing at various coffee houses in Northern Virginia and Washington, DC since 1998. She also performs at local farmers markets during the summer, as well as private receptions throughout the year.

In 1995, while performing with her band "Easy Access", Janna had the privilege of singing for President and First Lady Hillary Clinton in Georgetown. A memory captured on film, thankfully!

Janna also has recorded back-up vocals for Kowtow Popof, a critically-acclaimed Maryland musician. Her vocals can be heard on tracks "Bottom of the Sea" and "Satellite of Love".

Her debut CD, "Is It Real", is being carried by Olsson's Books & Records in Arlington and Old Town, Alexandria, Virginia. She is in the process of recording her follow-up CD, which is due for completion Spring 2003.
