Jane Voss & Hoyle Osborne
Introduction
Introduction
A dynamic juxtaposition of tradition and originality.
An unlikely duo.
Jane Voss is an earthy singer and a superb songwriter.
Hoyle Osborne is a master of ragtime and early jazz piano and a distinctively original composer.
Partners for more than 25 years.
They’ve played most of the major folk festivals across North America and they’ve been featured on many National Public Radio programs.
Their recordings are heard around the world.
They’ve received critical acclaim from the Village Voice, the San Francisco Examiner, the Washington Post, Stereo Review, Sing Out!, Folk Roots, and Dirty Linen.
“... the essence of entertainment — without the claptrap — being simultaneously obvious and subtle, sympathetic and wicked, old-fashioned and right up to the minute ...” (Stereo Review)
“... the duo virtually created their own hybrid of Bay-area folk-blues and jazz.” (Sing Out!)
“... This pair of artists are a Bay Area treasure. They deserve accreditation as historical landmarks, not because they’re that old but because they are preserving popular music styles that have for the most part been allowed to sink into the sands of time.” (San Francisco Examiner)
