"Her last name is as original and unique as she is...the real deal." - Terri Hendrix
"Jana Pochop is a dynamic writer, singer and guitar player....With a uniquely original voice and a driving right hand rhythm style, she delivers a powerful solo show. With a totally honest approach, Jana writes lyrics that she had to have lived through". - Lloyd Maines
"Pochop proves she doesn't need a GPS to navigate clear of streets jammed with fellow female singer/songwriters who lack her drive, vision and literary insights." - Austin inSITE Magazine - April, 2009
Jana Pochop (yes, the "h" is silent) was born on a cold, November day in South Dakota and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico. This may explain why Jana gravitates toward furnaces, coffee houses, tube amps, and other warm things. Now she is a performing singer-songwriter in Austin, Texas who has set out to prove that a history degree does not mean certain professional death if she turns it into useful songwriting fodder.
Jana's been changing her strings a lot this past year with residencies at various Austin venues, sharing the stage with Terri Hendrix and Lloyd Maines, and touring the U.S. with CMA Songwriter of the Year Susan Gibson.
Jana's new EP, "The Early Year," was produced by Daniel Barrett from Austin band porterdavis. And yes, she did play all the instruments on it.
Jana you are terrific - great sound and love your guitar playing, and I read you play other instruments also - you are one talented lady. What's your favourite guitar. I have a Takamine, but I'm not very good although I started playing in my early teens and am now 56.
