About
The Jesse Janes Band
This incredible Americana quartet will be returning to the Island following last year's sold out tour. They will bring with them iconic Americana, Bluegrass and Blues classics as well as some favourites form the celebrated 'O Brother, Where Art Tho' 2000 movie soundtrack.
Expect to hear classic tunes made famous by the likes of Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, EmmyLou Harris, Alison Kraus, Elvis, The Stanley Brothers, Roy Orbison, Jimmy Rodgers and Gillian Welch to name a few.
The Jesse Janes are an Americana quartet made up of Irish sisters Kate and Mary Rose plus Liverpool lads Tom and Andy. They have been enchanting audiences in Ireland and the North West of England for over 10 years with their unique and joyful interpretations of Americana classics, alongside some of their own original songs.
The Irish/English quartet will be playing three dates on the Island between 4 and 6 April, and will be supported by Isle of Man-based blues guitarist John Gregory, AKA Blue John.
