About Janet Batch

One part Stevie Nicks, two parts Johnny Cash, singer-songwriter Janet Batch hails from New York’s Finger Lakes region, writing and recording songs inspired by working-class life.  Some anthemic, some heartbreaking, many songs harken back to the hardscrabble stories of her youth in the Rust Belt. She fronts a 4-piece band whose sound is reminiscent of the seventies and eighties country radio she was raised on.  Her lyrics point to an affinity for poetry and prose and are a sweet surprise to those lucky enough to catch them; her style has been described as “country with an art degree”.

He has opened for John Hammond, The Wallflowers and Uncle Tupelo. Mike is working on his second solo album and third with area band Mortal Combine. 
He writes about abandoned places, and abandoned love as well as life on the road.
