Janine Rae
San Francisco's Janine Rae is a critically acclaimed singer/songwriter with a strong vision of creating songs that are unafraid to look at the heart of relationships and society. Musically and lyrically, she contrasts direct honesty with sudden vulnerability, and the result is captivating. Her four piece band is quickly becoming a fixture on the San Francisco club circuit, and cuts from her self-released debut CD, "Stop, IÕm Conscious", have been featured on college radio stations across the nation. Hailed by Electronic Musician magazine for her "sweet vocals" and "thoughtful lyrics", Janine Rae is clearly an artist on the rise.
