Janelle was a fun addition to our outdoor venue. She arrived on time with everything she needed, was very friendly, and really added to the fun for our guests yesterday afternoon. Thanks!
We were very happy to have Janelle entertain at my wife’s 50th Birthday Party. Everyone had a great time and Janelle did a wonderful job interacting with the guests helping to create a fun atmosphere.
During the planning process she was very professional in responding to questions promptly. It was a fun evening listening to Janelle playing guitar and singing...very talented at both.
We highly recommend Janelle!
Response from The Janelle Jam:

Janelle Jammed! Highlight of the evening that everyone enjoyed. Will definitely hire for future events.
Response from The Janelle Jam:
Thank you so much Ms. Jannie! It was a blast hanging with you ladies and I loved everyone dancing and singing along. So much fun!
Having hired musicians before, I found the GigSalad process to be sort of meh... Most of the referred musicians didn't seem to be a fit.
After interviewing the individual musicians and even music groups that were suggested by GigSalad, Janelle seemed to be the best fit. Little did I know how much of a fit she'd actually be. I shared a few hours of Spotify music, so Janelle would understand what we were hoping to hear. As I updated the Spotify playlist, Janelle shared that some of the songs were already added to her repertoire, as they seemed to fit the styles I suggested. That was awesome.
Within three weeks of the event, I had to change the venue, as the original location decided they didn't want a musician. So, we moved to the new venue and Janelle committed to the change without a hitch. What a sense of relief that I didn't have to start over!
Janelle arrived an hour early, played a 2 hour set, and oh my god... She was wonderful. She has a melodic and strong voice. We found ourselves singing along and at some point, I chose to stop singing along and just listen to how well she performed. I was so pleased, I tipped her almost 40%.
I discovered she just relocated from another town and this was her first STL gig. She's a wonderful find and I WILL be using her again.
