D. Janakey’s folk songs ride the edge between autobiographical and transcendental story telling. Drawing comparisons to Prine & Paul Simon, these are songs that ring with life. They breath and sway, and then float away. Throughout his nine years of playing live music, Janakey has shared the stage with Dave Simmonette of Trampled by turtles, Mason Jennings, Ezra Bell, Haley Bonar, Boris Mccutchen, and Them Coulee Boys.
