About Jane
Jane was raised in rural California and Oregon in a large
musical family. She began writing and performing at an early age and followed
that up with 13 years of classical voice training and performance in a cappella
groups.
Her formal training, combined with a literature degree led to the inevitable – a lifetime love affair with songwriting. She figures she has written several hundred songs, several of which have received songwriting awards. Jane is working on her 5th CD of original music and performs regularly around the greater New England area including The Stone Church in Newmarket, and the Boston Folk Festival. Her songs have been heard on over 100 radio stations in the US and abroad including NPR, The Midnight Special, and WUMB Boston. This fall, Jane is publishing her first book, a unique combination of music and story. Part biography, part travelogue, part historical treatise, part creative exploration, the book chronicles the life of her dad from his journey in 1936 as an 11 year old from the depressed state of Arkansas to the grand promise of California and continues through his life until it culminates in his last job as a cattle rancher in Oregon. Meanwhile, she describes traveling through the Oregon central desert with him while writing a song a day and expounding on the creative process. Says songwriter Tony Denikos: "I am completly enchanted by your book thus far. Finally got started on it. What a lovely idea and so nicely written. You made me call my folks on the tel:) I am not finished with it yet, but Jane, so far, it truly is a great read. Congrats!" "Jane Fallon has a great voice. She is intelligent and articulate. And her songs and stories are insightful, witty and engaging." Mark Sandman, Co-host , Jam'n Java Open Mic "I'm listening to your songs as I write to you. Beautiful... deeply thoughtful... musically interesting and varied... well done!" Trish, Cat in the Cradle Coffeehouse |
