She enjoys playing and singing American roots music in a variety of configurations, from open jams to teaching ensemble classes to performing with several bands, including the bluegrass band Orchard Creek, a female folk trio called Back to the Mountain and a country band known as Goatz! When Janeen is not performing or teaching music, she enjoys time outside in her garden or picking up a new craft project. In the summer you will likely find her at one of the many music festivals that our great state hosts.
