About

Sunday 25th August | 2024 | Dining from 1pm, Performance 2-4pm (with interval)
Peggy's Skylight | Nottingham

Tickets: £8-£12

Wearing influences of Janis Ian, James Taylor and the well-travelled folk of Paul Simon, Jana has her own distinct voice that continues to evolve.

"Amazingly beautiful" - Janis Ian. "A really classy sound, a fascinating mixture of styles...original" - Paul Sexton, BBC

"Amazingly beautiful" – Janis Ian

Jana's music transcends boundaries and takes audiences on a timeless journey. With a genuine passion for storytelling, she weaves rich narratives into every note, evoking emotions and connecting listeners to the heart and soul of her music.

Wearing influences of Janis Ian, Joni Mitchell and the well-traveled folk of Paul Simon, Jana has her own distinct voice that continues to evolve. Born into a musical family and raised on the green outskirts of Bratislava (Slovakia), Jana was immersed in music from a young age. As a child, she was already performing traditional Slovak songs and went on to study classical music in Austria and France. In 2014 she was to become a flautist in Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra in Czechia when she decided to pursue the career of a singer songwriter and moved to London.

Her debut album 'Foreigner Face' (2022) was co-produced by Fred Molin (Jimmy Webb's 10 Easy Pieces) and was nominated in the emerging artists category at the British Blues Awards, a testimony to its cross-genre appeal.

Jana's headline tour introduced her music to a wider UK audience and saw her first international collaboration with Varga Quartett Wien, an Austrian classical string quartet based in Vienna led by her brother Pavol.

Currently, Jana is making a regular guest appearance on the critically acclaimed 'Joni Reimagined' show (hommage to songs of Joni Mitchell) where she has recorded and continues to perform live with platinum selling artist Rumer.
