Please RSVP for address - [email protected]. We live in Berkeley near College and Ashby. Seating is limited so if you would like to attend, please make a reservation. Suzy writes: Hoyle and Jane were both very important early influences and inspirations in my musical journey. I first heard Jane at Fox Hollow Folk Festival in Massachusetts, when I was still in high school and she made a huge impression on me with her strong singing and guitar playing, I still remember the song she sang: “Keep In Mind that I love you”. She is a great songwriter and when I was still in my teens, one of my own signature pieces was a version of her “Standing Behind a Man” sung just with the fiddle. She is one of the greatest interpreters of old-time country music - Carter Family and Molly O’Day style. After getting together with Hoyle, she has turned her interpretive gifts to wonderful and unusual older tin pan alley and early blues classics. Hoyle’s piano stylings range from ragtime to early jazz, classic blues, tin pan alley and Great American Songbook. I loved singing to his piano playing back in the mid 1970s when Hoyle, Eric and I had a band called Blue Flame Syncopators. And I will forever be grateful to Hoyle for introducing me to the songs of Paul Siebel, which have been with me for 50 years now. Eric and I have played on some of Jane and Hoyle’s recordings and look forward to our making some music together! More about Jane and Hoyle: Jane Voss & Hoyle Osborne perform original songs and piano tunes, arising from, and grounded in, the great American folk and popular traditions, along with deeply felt, authentic renditions of all sorts of American Roots music. Jane & Hoyle met in San Francisco fifty years ago, and now live in New Mexico. They have been featured at the Mariposa Folk Festival (Canada), Santa Fe TradFest, The Great Hudson River Revival, and many other major festivals. They’ve performed on “Fresh Air”, “Mountain Stage”, and other national radio programs. Out in front: Jane Voss, singing and playing guitar, with a unique and powerful voice, both as singer and songwriter. Her original songs have been recorded and performed by such outstanding folk artists as Bayou Seco, Dave Van Ronk, Rosalie Sorrels, Jody Stecher & Kate Brislin, and Chuck Pyle. At the piano: Hoyle Osborne, master keyboard craftsman, composer, arranger, consummate accompanist. He played piano on screen in the film “Cowboys & Aliens”. “Jane’s glorious songs reflect the determination of the human spirit to survive and rise from whatever adversity the crooked path of life may throw in its way.” – Sing Out! magazine “She paints with hints and hues taken from bluegrass, swing, old-time country, jazz and, of course, folk, to create soundscapes that volley between genres with uncanny grace.” – Alibi magazine “Voss is a marvelous singer, Osborne is a master keyboard craftsman.” – San Francisco Examiner 2019 - Santa Fe Tradfest - "Nobody Know the Trouble I've Seen” Lots more videos of Jane and Hoyle: https://www.youtube.com/@banjojudy/search?query=jane%20and%20hoyle\ |
