A gifted singer of rare warmth and beauty, Janette is a powerful performer with a truly beautiful voice, great acoustic guitar style, and a genius for interpretation. As a strong solo act she can mesmerize her audiences with soaring and assured vocals, rich guitar work and wicked sense of humour, creating an unforgettable energy and great range of moods.
With 2 brand new albums, Janette has just returned from a very successful tour of the UK. 'Telling Tales' is a stunning collection of traditional Celtic songs, all with a contemporary edge, joyfully re-worked with a generous spirit and plenty of soul. Her newest Cd, 'The Bastard's Daughter' features a superb set of new original songs...an intimate collection of songs that trace the path through loss to liberation. Beautiful vocals, vibrant arrangements and glorious textures, both albums are winning her acclaim. Both albums are available from Janette at her shows. You can also purchase both new albums online (and in person!) in Australia from Burke's
Music in Castlemaine (click on album name) - Bastard's Daughter & Telling
Tales.

“Janette Geri's
sublime harmonies are nearly angelic” -
Robert Tanzilo, The
Milwaukee Sentinel
"Janette Geri provides a work of complete sensitivity and
integrity. It's one thing to praise the arrangements, it's another to
pay tribute to the excellent vocal delivery but something must be said
about her lyrics which really do court a subtle sense of the poetic. Recited as poetry, her words
stand dramatically tall.” Terry Reilly – The Age
“She has a
hauntingly beautiful and warm voice that puts instantly a spell on the
listener.
No matter if she sings traditional songs, Fairport Convention, Robert
Burns or other historical ballads she gave them a new and wonderful
re-make. Wonderful harmonies coupled with stirring rhythms and angelic
singing make her music a real treat for your ears.” Adolf 'gorhand' Goriup FolkWorld

“Her gift is obvious from the opening notes of any
of her songs, but what she also brings to her performances is an all
encompassing enthusiasm for Music that is conveyed to the audience the
moment she walks on stage. It is an instant Love Affair. She takes no
prisoners. This is the kind of stage presence you have to be born with
... Janette's music stops people
in their tracks instantly.” Tim Quinn, Quill
