Music icon, two-time GRAMMY Award winning. and 2023 Folk Alliance Lifetime Achievement Award honoree Janis Ian is celebrating the holidays and ringing in the new year with a small sale of her music and merchandise on her website, JanisIan.com

Now through January 2, many of the prices throughout her online store have been reduced including her latest releases: The Light at the End of the Line, Worktapes & Demos Vol. 1 and Live at the Calderone Theater 1975.    

Due to vocal scarring, The Light At The End Of The Line (2022) will be Janis’ last album of newly-recorded material. The GRAMMY nominated album is available as a CD (signed and unsigned), Hi-Res downloads, CD quality downloads and high quality MP3 downloads, as well as on vinyl (signed and unsigned). All the songs can also be purchased as individual high quality MP3 downloads. A digital songbook is available, along with Sheet music, too. Participants in the album include Diane Schuur, Vince Gill, John Cowan, Andrea Zonn, Randy Leago, Jim Agee, and Viktor Krauss. For a more information about the album visit the The Light At The End Of The Line page.    

In August, Janis released two offerings from her archives, Worktapes & Demos Vol 1 (a collection of worktapes, demos and other recordings featuring songs from Stars, Between the Lines, and Aftertones) and Live at the Calderone Theater 1975 (a live recording from November 29, 1975). Both are on sale at her online store as high quality MP3 downloads or CD quality FLAC downloads.

Also reduced for this holiday sale, is a remastered version (Hi-Res downloads, CD quality downloads, and high quality MP3 downloads) of her No. 1 album Between the Lines. Originally released in 1975, it won two GRAMMY Awards, was produced and engineered by Brooks Arthur, and features her indelible song, “At Seventeen.” A CD bundle (signed or unsigned) of this album and The Light at the End of the Line are on sale, too.

Ian’s acclaimed 2006 album Folk Is The New Black, is currently available for a free download (CD quality FLAC files or high quality MP3 files) for a limited time.

As 2023 comes to a close, Ian already has an exciting schedule of events and releases next year. At the end of January, she will appear at TradFest in Dublin, Ireland where she will wax poetic about her life in a special evening dubbed, “Janis Ian – A Life Between the Lines.” While Ian will not be performing many other artists including Mary Black and Eric Bibb will honor her with a concert. There will also be several live interviews and Q&A’s, and a work-in-progress screening of Varda Bar-Kar’s film Janis Ian: The Art of Song (working title). Three years in the making, this special event will give an inside look at the film which is a moving and inspiring tribute to an iconic artist that blends rare archival footage with candid interviews and performances with the intimacy of a home movie. After a festival and theatrical run, the documentary will have its exclusive U.S. broadcast premiere on American Masters on PBS.

With, undoubtedly, more releases, sales, and events coming in 2024, the opening of The Janis Ian Archives at Berea College will be a benchmark occasion. Ian has spent much of this year curating the collection which includes her song notebooks, personal diaries, a journal that includes the first poem she’d ever written at age 10. Intimate correspondence with fellow artists, famous friends, and collaborators including Dolly Parton, Lily Tomlin, Willie Nelson, Mel Torme, Chick Corea, and Stella Adler, will be on view, along with publishing, recording, and live performance contracts, copyright paperwork, financial negotiations, and tax returns.
