Jan Seides' (pronounced Sigh-deez) songs combine down-home honesty with up-town sophistication, and have been described as Nanci Griffith and Joni Mitchell meet Broadway.
Her first CD, "Slowly But Surely", received widespread radio play. "Everyday People", released in 2002, has garnered glowing reviews, and frequent radio play. Jan's new project "Family Album" was released on March 24th, 2007.
She has won major awards in regional to national songwriting competitions. They include The Great American Song Contest, Mountain Stage NewSong Contest, Kerrville New Folk, (regional NewFolk winner), Metro Detroit Songwriting Contest and the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest. In 2005, Jan was a finalist in the KRCL Founders Festival Songwriting competition in Utah. She was also a Judge's Award winner at MOVA (Mountain Valley Arts Council) Festival Songwriting Competition, and, most recently, was awarded First Prize at both the Dallas Songwriters Association Competition and the Austin Songwriters Group Competition. Jan was nominated for the prestigious B. IDEN PAYNE award for Outstanding Musical Director for Hello Muddah, Hello Faddah.
Venues played include: Bitter End (NYC), Bluebird Cafe (Nashville), Coffee Gallery Backstage (L.A.), and Artz Rib House (Austin, TX). Jan has shared stages with Jeff Talmadge, Alton Rex, Albert & Gage, David Llewellyn, Tim Grimm, and Buddy Mondlock.
Quote of the day: Listening to Jan was a trip! She is an incredibly talented woman with a beautiful voice. Her soul soothing voice along with her penetrating blue eyes will grab your heart. She sounds like a folk singer on Broadway, or a blues singer at the Opera...David Barnett, A CORE LIFE, Blog

hey, just stopping by to say hi - HAPPY NEW YEAR! I've got my new single up 'Feel Good' - just the thing to break-in the new year. Magazine reviews are comparing my new album as a cross between John Mayer and Gavin Degraw. I'm looking for management at the moment. Let me know what you think. Just spreading some love your way - I hope you enjoyed your new years! PS: the song Feel Good, should make you feel good! Kevin
What the best way to break into the European music market is.
Here are some things you can do:
Advertise in the following print magazines in Germany: Living Line Dance, reporting about line dance and country music, and Folk Magazin, reporting about folk and country music. The magazines have a high reputation in Germany and thousands of readers. If you would like to contact the publishers of the magazines to request more information about advertising, please send me an e-mail at Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de
If you have more questions about the European music market or about any of the information I send to you today, please contact me at Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de too.
Last but not least, join my buddy list on the following profiles and add me to your Top Friends:
