“… a killer guitarist, but she also happens to be a great singer and songwriter.”
-The Album Network

Janet Robin is not just another female singer/ songwriter with a guitar. From her performances, one gets the sense that she and the guitar are one.  Countless reviews have been written to attest to her playing abilities.  Janet’s musical roots are grounded by her mentors: Ann & Nancy Wilson (Heart) and Lindsey Buckingham (Fleetwood Mac). It all began with Janet listening to her older brother perform. This inspired her to pick up the guitar at the early age of six and study under the guitar teacher around the corner from her home, Randy Rhoads (Ozzy Osborne).

While still in high school, Janet started performing with several popular Los Angeles bands and evolved into a premier guitarist.  As her talent progressed so did her playing opportunities, landing a spot in the Lindsey Buckingham Band as one of the featured guitarists on tour and in the studio.  Following her tenure with Lindsey, Janet was invited by Meredith Brooks to become a member of Meredith’s touring band and her opening artist.

During this time, when Janet was not on the road, she began developing her solo career. Ever the industrious one, Janet has recorded three albums, “Open the Door”, “Out From Under” and “After The Flood…”.  Her third album “After the Flood…” was just released.  Her first two albums have sold over 5,000 copies and Janet has promoted them by performing over 400 shows in the last five years.

Song placement highlights from Janet’s first two album include: Say It One More Time, which was featured in the TV show “Felicity” and Formosa Café that was on the soundtrack of the film “Free Enterprise”. The song Brownstone from her second album was used in the TV sitcom “Good Girls Don’t” and the song Around The Corner from that same album is being used in the DVD release of the TV series “Wonderfalls”. Janet has also taken the opportunity to co-write songs with Maia Sharp and Garrison Starr.  Her songs have aired on radio stations around the US. Janet’s song Personal Revolution is featured on a compilation called “Women’s Night Out”, distributed exclusively through the Target retail chain.

Janet reaches a loyal audience through her constant touring, website and word-of-mouth.  Her artist endorsement with Sennheiser USA, has her featured on their www.truesoundlounge.com website. Michelle Shocked invited Janet to play guitar on her latest album. Michelle has stated that, “Janet is one of the best guitarists [she} knows in the country… Female or male!”.

Clumsy Lovers, Catie Curtis, Patty Larkin, Garrison Starr, Melissa Etheridge, Loudon Wainwright III, Melissa Ferrick, Maia Sharp, The Wild Colonials, Colin Hay, Ann & Nancy Wilson (Heart)
