Singer/songwriter and guitarist, Jana Herzen previews music from her third studio album, NOTHING BUT LOVE - a poetic, all-original song-cycle of folk/pop/jazz originals slated for release in January 2020 on the multi-GRAMMY®-winning Motema label (which, incidentally, Herzen founded, and has helmed for the past 16 years).  

With its unexpected juxtapositions of isolation, loss, and melancholy, alongside eye-winking fun, hopeful ‘turning the page,’ and celebratory letting of the sun back in, Nothing But Love offers a deep, richly entertaining portrait of the many guises of love.

Herzen's artistry ranges about as deep and wide as the roster of her internationally renowned multi-genre label. She expertly weaves strands of folk, jazz, blues, rock, Afro-beat, and reggae into spellbinding songs that bring to mind such forebears as Joni Mitchell, Bob Marley, Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Eva Cassidy, and Paul Simon.

Jana will be joined at Joe's Pub by the celebrated bassist Charnett Moffett (a fellow Motéma artist and co-producer of the album), veteran piano and keyboard man Brian Jackson (known well for his work with Gil Scott-Heron), and drummer Corey Garcia.
