JANET PLANET: A forty-plus year career of pure vocal brilliance!
01/02/24 • 89 min
Janet Planet is a name synonymous not only with the northeast Wisconsin music scene, but with vocal jazz and voice instruction. Her career has spanned forty-plus years and she shows no sign of slowing down at all. She's headlined concerts all over the world and her catalog of recorded work has earned praise from critics and fans alike. One of her biggest fans was comedian, composer, and jazz musician Steve Allen (yes, that Steve Allen!) who once wrote to her, "There are so many dumb and inarticulate singers in the business today, it’s a pleasure to hear someone who knows what singing is all about." Janet is an incredible vocalist who encourages others to use their voice through her succesful Rethink Sing vocal technique program. No matter if you're a jazzer or simply enjoy smart, outstanding vocal work, we think you'll enjoy this discussion with Janet Planet.
