**Special Early Show with Janet Batch & Band**
JANET BATCH

Janet Batch is a singer songwriter and front-woman based in the Finger Lakes region of central New York State. With a style referred to as "country with an art degree" and she has been endeared as "the voice of the hills". One-part Stevie Nicks, two parts Johnny Cash, she sings, unabashed, of death, romance, and the wondering of what went wrong.

Janet’s first album, “A Good Woman is Hard to Find” was an instant regional favorite. Backed by a full band and featuring three-part harmonies, the 2017 release is a record of story songs and train beats.

Drawing from an early life in rural upstate, Janet tells tales of a time and place invisible to most people. Influenced by seventies and eighties country radio, her songs range from poignant ballads to boot stomping two-steps to classic country waltzes.

Janet has performed on Bound for Glory, at The Great Blue Heron Music Festival, Downtown Ithaca’s Summer Concert Series, Ithaca Festival and many more. She has also had the pleasure of opening for Marty Stuart and Sean Rowe.
