jan preston - new south wales
Jan`s unique ability lies not only in her exceptional talent as a piano player, singer and songwriter, but also as an entertainer, and her mastery of boogie woogie piano leaves audiences in raptures. Her show includes a superb rendition of Winifred Atwell`s Black and White Rag, along with some quick finger playing covers of Professor Longhair, Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, Albert Ammons, and many other of the great rhythm and blues piano players who have influenced her style.
She has 3 Best Female Blues Artist Awards and was the winner of the 2003 Sydney Blues Performer of the Year. Her latest release "Wild Mood Swing" has been enormously successful on playlists here, in NZ and Europe. You may also notice Jan Preston’s name as a composer for films, and she is currently completing writing music for the ABC Dynasties documentary series.
Jan has recently returned from an action packed 4 week tour of Germany, Belgium, Netherlands and Austria.
