A native of Long Island, Janet began performing in the early 1980s in New York City's Greenwich Village. After moving to Wisconsin in 1985, she became established as a solo vocalist and guitarist, with much of her repertoire gleaned from the Tin Pan Alley era.
In 1998 The Janet Macklin Quartet was formed. The jazz quartet has performed at many state festivals, including Green Bay's Bayfest and Art Street, Appleton's Art in the Park, The Ripon and Neenah Jazz Festivals, The Fond du Lac Art Center Jazz Concert Series, The Kettle Moraine Jazz Festival in West Bend, Milwaukee's Bastille Days, Summerfest, Boerner Botanical Gardens, Cathedral Park Square Concert Series, and A la Carte at the Zoo, as well as Madison's Isthmus Jazz Festival and Art Fair on the Square. The band's club dates include regular appearances throughout the state, including numerous venues in Madison and Milwaukee. Numerous art museums have used Janet for openings and special events. Janet is a 2001 WAMI nominee for best female vocalist. (Wisconsin Area Music Industry)
