Meet Janelle

Demonstrating a complete command of the sound and keys of her tenor ... seems to defy logic and possibility in her speed, dexterity, and musicianship.

Jazz Improv Magazine

After a decade in NYC touring the world as a jazz saxophonist and clarinetist with bandleaders such as Wynton Marsalis and Doc Severinsen, Janelle Haskell decided to make a complete switch to something she's always loved deeply: folk music. Gathering influence from the jazz-inspired harmonies of Joni Mitchell, the finger-picking workings of James Taylor, and other artists who've bridged that delicate gap between folk and jazz, Janelle's songs draw heavily upon her personal experiences in love and life, particularly navigating a path from the life of a busy city girl to one back at home in the Midwest with all the open space and sky she'd longed for during all those years away.

Join us for the release show for Janelle's sophomore album, Dedications & Postcards. The first set features Janelle performing all the songs from her new album solo, and make sure to stick around for the second set - the album release afterparty! Janelle will pull out her clarinet and tenor sax and join guitarist Alex Belhaj and bassist Rob Bickley in a trio performing jazz tunes that will have you tapping your feet or maybe even up and dancing. See you there!
