A short bio:
Jane (Ross) Fallon is a American performer whose smooth, rich voice and well-written songs get noticed. With vocals that have been called “angelic” and “mesmerizing” by Boston's Metronome magazine, her original songs “combine humor, intelligence, and deep musicality with an artfulness that is unusual.” (Wildy's World Music blog).
She has 8 CD’s and two books to her credit. Her newest release, Tangled in a Tree, charted at #4 on the Acoustic Roots Chart and debuted at #8 on Airplay Direct; it was nominated by Limelight Magazine as “Album of the Year” . The Noise in Boston said the album was “the type of music that requires you to leave your cynicism at home . . . pretty, intelligent, expressive.” Her writing came to the notice of well-known Nashville songwriting coach Jason Blume, who commented on both the quality of her songwriting and the beauty of her voice.
Jane has won the Woody Guthrie Songwriting Competition in Oklahoma. She also won the South Florida Songwriting Competition, the Connecticut Environmental Songwriting Competition, and the New Jersey Folk Festival Songwriting Competition, and first place in the American Songwriter Mazazine Lyric Contest.
“Powerful, inspirational, uplifting, delightful and impressive . . . One of the good artists in a sea of soulless clutter.” Cyrus Rhodes, Indie Music Magazine.

Limelight Magazine Album of the Year Finalist: Tangled In A Tree
REVIEWS:
Metronome Magazine (Boston)
Singer Songwriter- guitarist Jane Fallon is the quintessential folk storyteller. Her poignant prose and beautiful voice engulf the listener with grand tales of vivid imagery and aplomb while combining complex elements of country, folk, and Americana. For her latest album, Tangled in a Tree, Jane enlists a top shelf cast of musicians that include Steve Gilligan on guitar, Tom Ruckey on Drums, Kenny Selcer on guitar, Deb O’Hanlon on vocal harmony, Jeff Root on Synth, bass, and guitar, Bob Francis on mandolin, Rob Carlson on Dobro and Slide, and Michael Ronstadt on cello, to develop her stories of everyday love, life, friendship, and satisfaction.
Songs of note include the magnificent opener, “Make it Right” which spawned the CD’s title, the picturesque “Daddy Was a Cowboy”, the honky tonkin’ “One More Last Time”, the beautiful memories of “Snow Angel” the two Steppin’ bop of “Foolish Pleasures” and the uplifting “A Cappella Ella”.
Playful, inspired and wonderfully recorded, Jane Fallon offers another fabulous offering that should be shared by the world.
Outstanding!
The Noise (Boston)
Fallon makes the type of music that requires you to leave your cynicism at home. For many a Bostonian, this would probably be a deal breaker, but it’s their loss. The music here is pretty, intelligent and expressive, mostly folk but with some country flair as well. Fallon’s songs have as much PMA as the Bad Brains and enough ruminations on friendship to fit in perfectly on a 7 Seconds record. Maybe the punks and the folkies aren’t all that different! The band is solid throughout, led by the subtly great playing of guitarist Kenny Selcer. (Kevin Finn)

On sheer talent alone, Fallon is a force to be reckoned with. She could go far and do well with the right kind of marketing and management. The depths of her vocal, lyrical, and acoustic guitar talents cannot be described, completely, in words. She does some things so subtle that you just have to hear it to appreciate it. She is a true artist and her artistry shines through on many levels in every song on this disc.

I was delighted to win first place in the highly prestigious lyric competition in American Songwriter Magazine.
"Holy Smokes, Jane. I am a subscriber to American Songwriter and am usually so unimpressed by the selections, but yours is another story. They made my heart glow for some reason. They moved me in a surprising way. Thanks you very kindly for that little gift of art." |
