Details:
Jana Jae is hailed by the Tulsa World as âone of the best fiddlers on the planet.â Jim Halsey of Halsey International affirms, "She is not only a brilliant musician and master of several musical styles, she is also an extraordinary entertainer.â

Jana says, âWhat reaches peopleâs hearts are the beautiful melodies that move us or set a mood. My stage show is very dynamic, with lots of upbeat, virtuoso playing, but many people ask to take home recordings of those moments in the show when the soul of the music comes through. Our new release, âAshokan Farewell,â captures these melodies and hopefully will strike that chord within you as we share this music!â
