about
"The highlight of this set was blonde-haired 'meisie', Janie Bay, whose throaty vocals had my friend falling in love with her every word. Her Tracy Chapman cover of ‘For You’ was exactly how a cover should be. She took the simple lyrics, placed them within a new musical piece and made it sound as if they were right where they had always belonged." - Claire Martens on the Cape Town Folk 'n Acoustic Music Festival. Janie is a talented female singer-songwriter / solo artist from the Helderberg area, Western Cape. Currently residing in Cape Town, South Africa she’s making her mark on the live circuit in the Mother City and surrounding winelands and Boland areas with her first 3 singles both reaching No. 1 on various charts in SA, both on radio & television.
