The Jana Nyberg Group / bio
Vocalist Jana Nyberg is quickly becoming recognized as a force in the Twin Cities. Known for her unique blend of jazz, pop, blues and soul, she is a sought after performer and educator. On stage, she brings a vibrancy and passion that is infectious, and ignites her audience. Jana has the pleasure of performing regularly with The Jana Nyberg Group, Out From Inside, and her new funk band, What It Is. She has also enjoyed performances with the Adam Meckler Quintet, pianist Josh Rawlings, and has been featured as a guest artist with the UW Eau Claire Jazz Festival, the UW Green Bay jazz singers, and The Bethel University Jazz Orchestra . You can hear Jana most extensively on her band's debut self-titled album released in 2008, and on her upcoming 2011 release, Fever.

Jana Nyberg Group CD Release Concert
The Jana Nyberg Group (Minneapolis) is back in Door County - their second home - for the release of their new CD project, "FEVER". The CD Release Concert will be held on Thursday, August 11th from 7pm at Sturgeon Bay's Martin Park.
This album (which was sidetracked for over a year by Jana's American Idol appearances) marks a turning point in the band's musical direction, blurring the line between jazz and popular music.
"We've strived to create a hip, original sound that will keep jazz alive and accessible to a wide audience." says Adam Meckler, Jana's husband, arranger and trumpet player in the group.
The Jana Nyberg Group has performed regularly in Door County for the past six years and has built a loyal following in both locals and vacationers. They've been regulars at Gordon Lodge, The Mission Grille, and Sister Bay and Ephraim park concerts. They are excited to return to Sturgeon Bay's Martin Park (which now features a beautiful new performance stage) for the "FEVER" concert.
You can sample Jana's music and download two free songs from the new album at janajazz.com. The August 11th concert is free and open to the public.
