About
Online bookings have now closed but there will be tickets available on the door just come to the Penrith Playhouse, 1 Auction Mart Lane, Penrith, CA11 7JG for 7pm, we look forward to welcoming you!4 women from 4 countries rework the powerful tunes of the jazz and blues pioneers
led by Ali Affleck - Vox/ percussion
Five women from Four countries join forces and rework the powerful tunes that brought fame to pioneers Louis Armstrong, Ma Rainey, Jelly Roll Morton, Sidney Bechet and many others.
Not a pastiche, this show is steeped in facts - even the band name 'The Traveling Janes' is a proud reclaiming of a slang label for women who worked on the traveling railroad and tent shows of the 1900s. This bold music is as vibrant and relevant today as it was during the prohibition period and 'The Janes' aspire to embrace our 21st century ears with the same rapture and joyous spirit that the original composers intended.
