About Jayne:
Jayne Williams writes things. Some of the things pay the rent; some are set to music. She began to study the mandolin in 2013, after realizing that the world did not need another mediocre guitar player, and has now learned just enough to be dangerous. As one of the rare Russian majors who found a job in her field, she traveled extensively in Russia during the late Soviet period, interpreting for whitewater rafting expeditions in Siberia and managing to avoid drowning herself or others. Since those times, there have been many years of soul-parching office jobs and consulting gigs (see writing things, above). In May 2019, Jayne will be performing at the Merthyr Rising festival in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales, with her band, The Exiles. Her songs dig into the angst, fun, and ambiguity of being a middle-aged human in a complicated world. Jayne lives in San Francisco.

About John:
