Charismatic, soulful, and with a flair for the standards in a style which mirrors jazz legends of the past, Janine Graham is a very dynamic presence both on and off stage, and never ceases to touch the hearts of her audience. She can make you laugh and cry with the emotion she puts into every song.
Originating from Massachusetts, Janine’s musical career has covered many diverse musical styles, including contemporary, rock, dinner theatre, jazz and blues, achieving a wealth of vocal experience. But it was during her long stay in Southern California that she honed her love for the Great American Songbook and concentrated solely on that genre --- soon becoming a local favorite in the area.
Janine has developed quite a following in the Boston area since her return and has performed with some of the most noteworthy jazz musicians in the area. It is truly an experience that should not be missed!
