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 9 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.

Aidan Buck is a trumpet player with a passion for all kinds of music, but most loves jazz. Aidan is a senior at UWEC and resides Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Aiden will be joined by Tyler Lustek, a pianist, composer, arranger and educator, as well as Jeremy Boettcher, a regionally-recognized bassist and staple on The Lakely stage.
