Welcome to Janet Lenore's Website! People who listen to Janet Lenore often recall the humor of
Christine Lavin, the sweetness of Kate Wolf and the bite of Patti Smith - at least that's what
we've been told. Singer/songwriter, Janet Lenore, has been performing regularly throughout the greater San Francisco Bay Area for several years. She started her songwriting when she started learning to play guitar at 12 and began her
performance career with her mother as a duo called "Rosenthorn." You can listen to online song samples from her
first CD, "Ladies of My Family"at CD Baby. Janet is in the studio now working with Topher Gayle
on the eventual the release of some new recorded material. Some of those more recent recorded efforts and some live performance recordings can be heard on
Janet's MySpace page.
Janet currently has three main band projects. "All About Me" - is a band with eclectic musical tastes.
Featuring the harmonies of Janet Lenore and Amy Friedricks, supported by multi-instrumentalist
Topher Gayle
and bassist Jeff Davis. Although the band rarely has the opportunity
to play together, they get together to share some tunes whenever they can.
The "Janet Lenore Band" happens when Janet, Jeff and Topher dust off the electric instruments
and hook up with a drummer for some serious rock and roll. A little like the stereotypical "exploding drummer"
syndrome illustrated in "This is Spinal Tap," the band has worked with several drummers. For a long time the band
had Sid Sanchez as a regular drummer. Before and after Sid, we've done gigs with Rich Dorffi, Kenny Gross,
Jesse DaSilva, or Art Sanchez on skins.
"Royan" is a duo - sometimes a trio - devoted to both Irish instrumentals; and modern and traditional folk songs.
Sharon Carl plays fiddle and sings while Janet plays guitar and sings. Although Royan performs rarely due to geographical
distances, the extended Royan group made a video up in honor of our friend Anne's Big Bday and put it up on YouTube. If its you're birthday and you're feeling
a tad bit sorry for yourself, a dose of "Happy Crappy Birthday" is just the ticket.
