The music of Jane Thatcher is a powerful array of folk rock and americana, crossing styles and sounds with the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Natalie Merchant, and 10,000 Maniacs. With one taste of her chocolate-flavored voice, foot-stomping rhythms and heartfelt lullabies, you’ll see why she continues to stir the souls of her listeners. She now performs as “Jane & The Pretty Pleases” as seen and heard on Jane and the Pretty Pleases on Bandcamp.
Originally from Salt Lake City, Jane’s successes spread like wildfire in Chicago. While she was in Chicago, her Midwest mark was made. Shows included the large Widow’s Peak Music Festival, and shows at prominent venues such as Lincoln Hall and Bottom Lounge. A music video for “Good Reasons” and full length on CAUDog Records, “Poundin’ a Heartbeat” as well as local shows like supporting indie music store Transistor with a music video series. Considering that all this has occurred within the year and a half in Chicago, it is safe to say Jane Thatcher has garnered a whirlwind of support, and she won’t be slowing down anytime soon. Her guitar and original music is an adventure in high spirits and positive energy. She now lives and performs in the Western United States.
As a solo performer Jane Thatcher is enchanting, and easily captivates the crowd with her intimate songwriting and connection with the audience. In addition, she has really stacked the deck for her music career, forging a partnership with a band of exquisitely talented musicians. Jane’s high-octane group on the “Poundin’ a Heartbeat” album, The Steadfast Acrobats, offer a solid retro-rock pulse that creates a polished, true Americana sound for the masses. While in Chicago, Jane worked as a social worker with disenfranchised people, families, and children. Jane observes a different perspective of the world we all live in, and she strives each and every day to make a difference. As a singer-songwriter inspired by artists of the 60′s and 70′s who had a passion for social change, Thatcher sees music as art that allows people to experience a new reality.
