Janet's musical interests are widely varied, She's supported hula dancers on the ukulele, grooved with Brazilian jazz on mandolin, and provided back-up rhythm guitar for a traditional Irish trio. She's performed in a blues and jug band, harmonized on original folk, twanged with country and swung with swing. Since of course, she rocks, she is sometimes seen taking theremin solo breaks in the band.
Some of Janet's most exciting music experiences have included sharing the stage with Windham Hill fingerstylist Alex de Grassi, steel guitar maven Patti Maxine, and keyboardist David Kaffinetti of "This is Spinal Tap." Thanks in part to music camps, Janet has has also enjoyed performing (and learning from) many masterful players such as James Hill, Daniel Ward and Paul Hemmings, just to name a few.
Janet enjoys a wide variety of musical projects whether being a supporting band member or being the "front person." She's had the pleasure of sitting in on mandolin and theremin with the original band "Sezu," supporting gold record recording artist Nancy Cassidy, and playing farmer's market gigs with "Lunarville." She loved being bandmates with Topher Gayle, Amy Friedricks, Sharon and Jaya Carl, Thomas Howell, Sid Sanchez, John Bidwell and many others. Janet's husband, bass player Jeff Davis, is her most frequent collaborator. Together they ran the "First Monday Open Mic" at Hayward's "The Bistro" for at least ten years. They've also enjoy performing at the "songwriter's hang" and being part of "Los Horribles" at Michael McNevin's Mudpuddle Shop in Niles.
