Janelle?s life is composed of
the music and people she loves ? and they are the reason for the passion in her voice. She communicates with her audience through the nuanced strength and power of her voice and engages each person who hears her sing in a rich dialogue.

Janelle?s own voice and style is the result of an amalgam of musical experience, including immersion in theatre and concerts, and growing up with musicians. Those experiences and way of life contributed to her R&B edgy style.

In 2003, Liars Theatre Publishing released Janelle Lauer Live at Liars, a 16-track compilation of live recordings ranging from jazz standards to pop, rock, blues, and show tunes. 2005 brought Turn the Corner, Lauer?s first studio album, which featured her rise as a songwriter as well as her mastery of classic songs that she had grown to love over the years.
