Crazy for Jane is about Jane, about being crazy for Jane, about siblings and the protagonist of their imagination whom they have sworn to travel the world to serenade. Josepha and her brother Philipp grew up in Frankfurt and in Chicago, and are currently based in Berlin where the gloomy city of Brecht and historical upheaval inspires their songs. Their music is a desperate serenade underneath your window.  It is pop and folk and sometimes a little Jazz.  Their songs are fun and poetic and their harmonies unusual and at times dissonant. Their debut album "Desperate Serenade" was released in June 2006.  The latest news is, that Crazy for Jane is part of Uli M Schueppel's film "Berlin Song" which screened at the Berlin Film Festival this February.  Crazy for Jane is also very excited about their next album "Do you have a Jane?" which they recorded with friends in Chicago at the end of last year.  An unveiling is impending in the early summer of 2007.

June Madrona

"On my favorite June Madrona song, they sing, "Last night I dreamt that Portland filled up with gardens/and people on bicycles passing me by/and streets lined with fruit trees." ... careful, stately folk. It's nice. Like summer in Portland."
-Portland Mercury8/24/06

"The fragile plucks that open June Madrona's "An Early Spring" could pass for a lullabye before the sadness to come begins to creep in. It's an amazingly graceful fade of emotion, taking you from unease to nostalgia, and then the cello kicks in and you realize there's more than wistfulness here. This is an elegy for the open fields and farmland of childhood, paved and peopled by inexorable suburban expansion. The folks fighting I-933 should make this their campaign song."
-The Olympian 10/10/06

"Anyone have a light? With June Madrona's musical depth and lyrics that touch on subtle inward tragedy, Artsweek needs a cigarette."
