San Juan College Silhouette Performing Arts Series presents
Jane Voss & Hoyle Osborne
in concert
Friday • March 4 • 7 p.m.
San Juan College Little Theatre
 Singer-songwriter Jane Voss and pianist Hoyle Osborne began their partnership in 1976. Joining them for this retrospective concert of their 35 year career together will be several outstanding musicians from the area, including Keith Cochrane on vibraphone, trumpet, and trombone, Gordon Peck on guitar, Mike McCluhan on bass, and Nicolas Lucero on drums.
Jane & Hoyle will present memories and highlights of their life and times on the road. Their concert will feature many of Jane's best-known original songs, Hoyle's piano compositions, and a surprising selection of blues, folk, and popular songs, old and new.
“The duo virtually created their own hybrid of Bay Area folk-blues and jazz.” – Sing Out!
“... the essence of entertainment – without the clap-trap – being simultaneously obvious and subtle, sympathetic and wicked, old-fashioned and right up to the minute ...” – Stereo Review
“Voss is a marvelous singer, Osborne is a master keyboard craftsman.” – San Francisco Examiner
“If passion and literacy were in fashion, these folks would be big stars. As it is, they are a treasure to those of us adults fortunate enough to have encountered them” – Bob Franke
“... great heart soul and incite.” – Van Dyke Parks
