Editorial review
Because she's from Maryland and working on her stunning, multifaceted pop/rock/blues-flavored debut, Looking for You, with some of the members of the Eva Cassidy's band -- including Chris Biondo, who produced half of these tracks -- there's no doubt that this powerful and excitingly versatile indie vocalist will rate comparisons to the late D.C.-based singer who inspired a posthumous phenomenon. Yet that would be a bit unfair because it's clear that Janine Davy -- a self-described working mom from Southern Maryland -- has no problems carving out her own niche. Most of the originals -- from the heartfelt "How Much Longer..." to the rousing roadhouse clap along "Happy Hour," the graceful, country-tinged "Valentines on Christmas Day" and the jazzy fingersnapper "Happy Love Song" -- were written by the versatile songwriter Steve Digman (whose songs have been covered by, among others, Katie Melua). Digman clearly understands the many ways Davy can express herself; she can put forth powerful emotion with just the right subtlety and she can rock and wail when the mood calls for it. Not that she truly needs them to blow listeners away, but Davy is equally brilliant on covers of "Love Hurts" (with just her own flute and guitar accompaniment), a sizzling "Oh! Darling" and a slightly ambient arrangement of "Superstition." As emotionally overwhelming as Davy and her debut are, her varied musical styles may pose a problem for a narrow-minded music industry -- the same problem Cassidy once had. Hopefully, discriminating listeners won't worry so much about categorization and will discover this amazing yet seasoned new talent. ~ Jonathan Widran, All Music Guide
Bio / Background
Born and raised in Southern Maryland, Janine Davy seemed destined to express herself creatively. She was surrounded by music from the time she was born. Her Peabody-trained father was principle flutist with the United States Air Force Band and performed all over the world. Her mother, who sang like an angel and played piano, taught her children the joy of singing in harmony. Beginning with her first performance at the age of three, Janine progressed to a succession of musical instruments, including the guitar, flute, recorder and piano. It is her singing, though, that shows her passion and power. From ballads and folk standards, to sultry blues, to no-holds-barred rock and roll, Janine shows her vocal range and diversity in styling. While she dabbles in poetry and writing music for lyricists, Janine says her real joy is taking a song and making it her own.

Janine's quest for musical perfection was accomplished by employing the much sought after talented gifts of two-time Emmy Award Winners Lenny Williams, a pianist and former member of the Eva Cassidy Band, Steve Steckler, a producer of works for MTV, National Geographic, Discovery and Chris Biondo, a producer, bassist and former member of the Eva Cassidy Band. Janine recruited other members from the Eva Cassidy Band, as well. Keith Grimes, who played bass and guitar, Raice McLeod, who played drums, were also members of her band. She also collaborated with Steven Digman. Steven is a songwriter and has had his songs recorded by Eva Cassidy, whose albums have reached gold and platinum status and Katie Melua, a four-time platinum artist from the UK. Other musicians contributing to the sounds of Janine's album include Keith Mitchell (Bass); David Speake (Guitar); David Hill (Guitar); Benjie Porecki (Keyboards); Marsha Rubin (Background Vocals); Holly Brandon (Bass & Background Vocals), Janine's daughter, Anna Davy (Cello & Background Vocals), Janine's husband, Rich Davy (Guitar) and Janine's brother, Erich Seehafer (Guitar). Finally, Janine hired Grammy Award winner, Charlie Pilzer to master her album.
