Bio:
Janet Patricia Gardner (born March 17, 1962 in Juneau, Alaska) is an American rock singer. She is best-known as the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the all-woman hard rock band Vixen.Gardner became the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the all-woman hard rock band Vixen. Janet joined the band's early lineup in 1982. In 1984, the band appeared in the movie Hardbodies before moving to Los Angeles to further their career.After some initial changes, the primary lineup of Vixen consisted of Janet, Jan Kuehnemund, Roxy Petrucci, and Share Pedersen.Vixen signed with EMI and recorded their self-titled debut album which was released in September 1988. Gardner described the pressure of recording as, "We were just girls from Minnesota and Montana who loved playing live, so it was a bit of a rude awakening."Their lead single "Edge of a Broken Heart" became their signature hit song. It was co-written, arranged, and produced by Richard Marx. Vixen would go on worldwide tours in support of Ozzy Osbourne, Scorpions, and Bon Jovi along with their own headline shows. Vixen recorded and released their second album "Rev It Up" in July 1990. They toured for another year alongside KISS and Deep Purple before the band split up in the middle of 1991 citing musical differences.In 1997, Janet and Roxy reformed Vixen with Rana Ross and Gina Stile for a US tour. In 1998, Janet, Roxy, and Gina recorded a third Vixen album titled "Tangerine". Tangerine would be a shift in styles going to a more late 90s grunge sound rather than the 80s hair metal sound of the previous two albums. Roxy Petrucci's sister Maxine joined the group for a tour until they were sued by original member Jan Kuehnemund over copyright infringement involving the use of the Vixen name.In 2001, Kuehnemund decided to reform the band this time with Janet and Roxy, adding Pat Holloway on bass. The newly reformed Vixen toured the United States as part of the Voices of Metal tour until disagreements once again caused the band to split in the middle of the tour. Kuehnemund quickly replaced the band with three new members to finish the tour and they continued on under the Vixen name.VH1 reached out to the original Vixen lineup in 2004 and got them to appear on the show Bands Reunited. The show featured a one-time reunion of the original group that aired in November 2004 coinciding with the re-release of the first two Vixen albums.Janet mostly stayed out of the spotlight until making a few special appearances singing with the band Scrap Metal in 2010 and 2011. In 2012, Share Pedersen and Roxy Petrucci along with Janet reached out to Jan Kuehnemund about reuniting the original Vixen, however Kuehnemund declined stating that she was happy with her new band. Soon after, it was announced that Janet, Share, and Roxy would form their own band along with Gina Stile. They originally named the band "VXN" but decided to change it to avoid any possible lawsuits, thus they became known as simply JanetShareRoxyGina (or JSRG for short).JSRG began playing shows at the end of 2012, followed by touring on the Monsters of Rock cruise in March 2013. After a long battle with cancer Jan Kuehnemund died October 10, 2013.Gardner will release her first solo album, produced by her husband, on Pavement Entertainment on August 18, 2017.
Album:
Iconic duo Janet Gardner and Justin James return with their brand-new album, entitled "No Strings", which will be available through Pavement Entertainment. "No Strings" is the follow-up to the duo's 2020 album "Synergy". In the two years since the release of "Synergy", Gardner and James went to work crafting their most exciting and memorable release to date. "No Strings" grabs the listener from the thumping anthemic opener “I’m Livin’ Free”. From the bluesy ballad “No Strings” to the rowdy closer “Drink”, "No Strings" has something for everyone! Gardner says: “Justin's and my work flow have become so effortless that the creative process never gets bogged down in the technical aspects until it comes time to mix and master." Justin’s determination to bring this album to the next level, sonically, has had the biggest impact on this release", James says, “I’m so proud of what Janet and I have created with 'No Strings'. From the first chord recorded to the last note sung, 'No Strings' is a piece of who we are.” Known for being the lead vocalist of the legendary female rock band Vixen, Janet Gardner’s powerful vocals propelled Vixen to the top of the Billboard charts with crossover hits “Edge Of A Broken Heart” and “Cryin'”. Justin James has worked as a guitarist/songwriter/producer with members of Staind, Collective Soul and Tyketto. Together, Janet and Justin have penned a collection of emotionally charged songs with gritty grooves, infectious hooks and inspired lyrics that merge hard rock influences from the last four decades.
