A California girl, Janis is a singer/songwriter – toured with Michael Bolton for 19 years; also with the Moody Blues, Righteous Bros., Charlie Rich, Engelbert, and a menagerie of other shorter tours and t.v. appearances; appears on Ringo Starr’s CD “Y Not,” and Neil Young’s “Living With War”. 

She’s a six-time Emmy certificate winner for writing special material for both Jim Henson’s Muppet Babies and Sesame Street; helped pioneer National Geographic TV’s  channel with songs for the award winning show  “Really Wild Animals.” Other notable writing credits include Universal’s “Theme from Undercover Brother” and Disney TV’s theme for “Emperor’s New School.” Active in improvisational theater, Janis was a member of the LA Comedy Connection.

Janis recently moved to La Quinta, CA, and is active in a handful of bands; she and husband Scott Monahan (past member of the legendary rock band “Spirit”) have a duo called “Fun With Dick And Jane Band.” They love performing live, this time with each other. They often add fellow road musicians, either adding to Scott’s newly recorded tracks, or creative jams. They just simply “bring it”.  She also enjoys singing with “Mad Dogs and The Englishman,” a rockin’ Joe Cocker tribute band comprised of all top notch veteran musicians. 

They are gaining friends and venues in the Coachella Valley. 

The two have written and produced radio jingles as “JinglesJane.com” for Clear Channel. Scott also has a videography business, producing indie shows and music videos, so it looks like there will be no vacations in the near future.
