"I've been doing this music thing for some time now. Once in a blue moon you find an artist that can burn it up in the studio and on stage. After listening to Janet Ryan's album I was really knocked out with her music so we traveled to Dallas to hear her live. I was completely blown away and she owned the stage, took the audience under control and brought them to their feet time after time. She certainly made a believer out of me and I'm so proud to be working with her in 2013."

"Janet has one of the most naturally compelling new voices I have heard during my listening to demos for the last five years! She doesn’t have the foggiest idea how to hold back…she gives the audience everything she has every night.” “there is not a better female voice in our area for rock and blues, not one person better. Her pitch is perfect and she does not know how to go halfway. She gives you everything she’s got every single time. It was supposed to be a cameo with my band in concert and it ended up lasting ten plus years. "
