Biography

Janie and Joe perform as a duo-Janie sings and plays keyboards,various percussion instruments and the Bodhran,an Irish goatskin drum,while Joe amazes audiences with his skills on numerous acoustic and electric guitars.
They are gifted songwriters able to go from a sparse achingly tender love song to an uptempo sultry blues number and then turn the corner into a bouncy Irish-flavored instrumental and top that off with a rockin' balls-to-the-wall socially conscious tune that leaves the crowd begging for more.
In a world of pre-packaged "muzak"
this music is refreshing,relevant and real!
They perform at major Art and Music Festivals,Brew Pubs and Coffeehouses all over the Northwest and in Ireland.

"Janie and Joe have created some of the best music and recordings that we've featured on 'LOCALS ONLY'. The pair have recently released an ambitious set of music called "Postcards from A Tiny American Town". It's a double CD release that features the outstanding lyrics and great musicianship that this pair have put together...Janie's vocals are the feature attraction on this CD. They've also released "Sound Of Wings" and album of instrumental compositions that features Joe's Amazing guitar playing"
Pooner Clark, Host of "Locals Only", KISM 92.9, Bellingham WA.

"Just got the two new CD's. The sound and mood were exactly what I was hoping for-a loose laid-back acoustic groove. I try to create a flow between songs and I hear alot of flow here... No cookie cutter top 40 approach on my shows! Thanks again"
Brad Mennie, Host of The Big Groove,101.7 CHLY and CVUE Radio Vancouver,B.C.

"Janie Cribbs is a Fantastic singer-songwriter who performs with her partner Joe Reggiatore, an excellent guitarist. Not only do the two of them fill the room nicely with haunting music, but they have a mesmerizing stage presence"
Chuck Dingee, The Music Man, Northwest Events and Lifestyles
