The Return of the Queen

Jan Preston ‘the queen of boogie woogie’ will return to Martinborough early next year for a third concert at The Village Café on the 18th of January.

“Jan is a magnetic live performer and an astonishing piano player” says Martin Lewis, Marketing Manager for Jazz in Martinborough, “She’s also great communicator who can really captivate an audience with her charm and wit” says Martin.

As well as playing a mix of boogie, ragtime and blues piano, during the intermission Jan will also answer questions from the audience about the experiences she has had in her long and varied career as a musician and performer.

From a background in classical music with a long-time interest in composition and song writing, Jan created her own original style through her piano playing, singing and songwriting and has won 5 music awards. She has sold out concerts throughout Australia, NZ, Europe and the UK, and performs side-by-side with the best boogie piano players in the world.

Martin has some advice for those hoping to herald the return of the queen “Jan has a strong local following with her last two concerts here selling out quickly. It would be wise to book your tickets early to avoid missing out on what is sure to be another knockout show.”

Tickets are available online at iTicket.co.nz or can be booked through Martinborough Wine Merchants or i-Sites. For more information go to www.jazzinmartinborough.co.nz
