Jan James CD Release Party

Come listen to some remarkable music at this performance benefiting an important cause. Recording artist Jan James will be performing in support of the release of her tenth CD, Ring Around the Moon. This event will benefit the nonprofit organization, One Love Africa (www.oneloveafrica.org), whose goal is to give children across Africa an opportunity to participate in the global society of the 21st century by providing education in rural societies where none existed before. To date they have constructed 20 schools in Ethiopia. The party will feature a LIVE video hook-up to Ethiopia enabling a group of the school children from One Love Africa to take part in the performance of the song “We Are One” with the band. Ms. James’ 14 song collection Ring Around the Moon, was inspired by her desire to share a message of hope and love within this troubled world. This CD is filled with songs contemplating lessons in life, avenues for peace, and the resilience within us. A longtime Chicago artist, has a voice deemed by the music press as “nothing short of extraordinary” and that it “evokes Tina Turner, Janis Joplin and Koko Taylor”. She has also toured extensively in Europe and enjoys a loyal following there and in the U.S. For more information visit: www.janjames.com
