SUMMARY:Jana Varga: "The stuff Carnegie Hall shows are made of." - FATEA. £20 adv. £22 door
DESCRIPTION:Last here performing as a member of the Joni Reimagined Quartet\, when she wowed the audience with her superb vocals\, be prepared once more to be mesmerised and captivated by the voice of Jana Varga. \n​Citing a mixture of influences – from classical music to songwriters such as Janis Ian\, James Taylor\, and the well-travelled folk of Paul Simon – Jana’s music transcends boundaries and takes audiences on a timeless journey. \n​With a genuine passion for storytelling\, Jana weaves rich narratives into every note\, evoking emotions and connecting listeners to the heart and soul of her music. She has her own distinct voice that continues to evolve. \nRaised on the outskirts of Bratislava and born into a musical family\, Jana was immersed in music from a young age. As a child\, she was already performing traditional Slovak songs and went on to study classical music in Austria and France. In 2014 she became a flautist in the Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra in Czechia\, when she decided to pursue the career of a singer-songwriter and moved to London. \nCo-produced by Fred Mollin (Billy Joel\, Jimmy Webb) and nominated in the Emerging Artist category of the British Blues Awards\, Jana’s 2022 debut album\, Foreigner Face\, was described as a “fascinating mixture of styles and very original” by Paul Sexton (BBC Billboard) and “amazingly beautiful” by songwriting legend Janis Ian.​ \nJana’s subsequent headline tour introduced her music to a wider UK audience and saw her first international collaboration with the Varga Quartett Wien\, a noted Austrian classical string quartet based in Vienna and led by her brother\, Pavol. \nPerformances alongside platinum-selling artist Rumer and other esteemed vocalists have garnered Jana international acclaim. Notably\, in late 2023\, she graced the stage at the O2 Indigo as part of Rumer’s band\, captivating audiences both as an opening act and a key member of the ensemble. \n​Earlier this year\, Jana released Chicory\, which was described by one music critic as “rich in cinematic overtones”\, and she’ll be performing material from that eponymous album\, plus songs from Foreigner Face and material by iconic performers such as Joni Mitchell\, Paul Simon\, Dusty Springfield\, and Carly Simon. \n​For this intimate\, stripped-back show\, Jana is accompanied by pianist Sam Watts.
