Janet
Rice Davis
Janet Rice Davis was born
and raised in Houston,
Texas, where music has
always been an integral part
of her family life. Although
Janet's formal musical
training was primarily in
the classical field, she was
fascinated with the stringed
instruments, particularly
those involved with folk and
bluegrass music. In college
she played the guitar and
sang as a folk and blues
musician in many of the
Austin clubs, learning from
such greats as Lightning
Hopkins, Janis Joplin, and
other well-known musicians,
who played the same clubs.
Today, Janet is primarily
known as a bluegrass and
five-string banjo
specialist.
