Jane Germain & The Yahoos
Jane Germain
& The Yahoos - some of the hottest bluegrass pickers in WA - including
former members of the Sensitive New Age Cowpersons -
Ian Simpson, John Reed, and Fred Kuhnl (and also Norm Leslie and Reuben
Kooperman)
bring a self-styled vibrancy to the diverse music they whip together -
bluegrass, country blues, and anything else that seems expressive and
alive ;
from the Appalachian mountains to the Chinese grasslands –
these are true roots musicians at their best - with songs guaranteed to
make you smile!
This has been
a great year for Ian Simpson and Jane Germain,
starting with the 2010 WA Country Music Vocal Group or Duo win (for the
second year running),
the release of their highly acclaimed album Lonesome
Road,
a WAMI nomination for Best Country Band (for The Yahoos)
and an appointment to perform as a part of Australia’s Cultural
Program at the World Expo in China.
