Janéa Hudson, a Vermont raised jazz vocalist and graduate of Northern Vermont University is passionate about all things music. Janéa loves performing in Vermont communities and says “Being known in an intimate jazz community and just being a part of a small and friendly jazz community is so rewarding.” At Northern Vermont University Janéa enjoyed performing in a funk-fusion ensemble, in musicals, and even performed with a dance ensemble. She currently performs as lead vocalist with several bands around the state and beyond, and is always excited to meet other passionate musicians. As a biracial woman, it’s important to her to bring diversity to the Vermont world of jazz.
She is accompanied by Bruno John on bass, Randal Pierce on piano, Gehrig Loughran on drums, and Jake Whitesell on Saxophone.
