hen Jane was discovered by Mercury/Parachute, she was living as "artist-in-residence'' at
the parsonage of St. Paul and St. Andrew United Methodist
Church on Manhattan's Upper West Side, writing choir songs and
babysitting while she pursued her music.
o it made perfect sense that when the time came to record
her first CD, "Tapping the Wheel," she would choose the
church's beautiful old grand piano.
orking with a $30,000 budget and alternating between the
historic church's sanctuary and a Sunday school room, Jane and
her band laid down tracks between truck horn blasts and car
alarms in the street outside.
he fruit of their labors rings with an authenticity and
simplicity that perfectly mirrors its spiritual roots.
