A message from the painter of the painting that inspired the song 'Tight Rope', Quint Buchholz: "Hello Jan, I saw your question on Facebook. I'm not a member there so I'm answering on this way. The title of the tightrope walker painting is "Giacomond". It's a fantasy word, combined from the name "Giacomo" (the name of a clown I was working with at that time) and the German word "Mond" (moon). A little boy named the image like that, when I was painting it many years ago. I am very honored that this painting inspired you. If you like, you could find more about my work here www.quintbuchholz.de and here https://www.instagram.com/quintbuchholz/ All the best Quint"

About
Jan Songs Productions Is Jan Peters of Bellingham, Washington & Region
Providing entertainment and music of distinction for most any occasion.
I make shows happen with groups and artists I am very excited and passionate about presenting and working with. I'm very passionate about exposing more people to truly great music.
I sing, play harmonicas, Irish bouzouki, and still get on the piano at times. I enjoy arranging, composing, and recording as well. I am a co-founder of Gallowglass Irish Band, Rosin & Reed, created Irish & Folk Mondays, book superb folk, blues, and jazz shows in town, and love being a side man with great artists every chance I get.
"I could listen to Jan perform all day long! He is incredibly aware of the collaboration between he and his fellow performers and contributes in ways that escalates the entire musical enjoyment for everyone. I've heard Jan play with a variety of instrumentalists and vocalists, and he keeps amazing me with his level of taste, sensitivity, and 'ensemble'. His approach to each and every piece makes the audience perk up and his fellow performers shine. Can't wait for the next opportunity to hear Jan Peters!
Patricia Bourne, EdD
Professor, Coordinator of Music Education, WWU Bellingham, WA
"My 10 year old daughter has taken folk music lessons with Jan. She has traditional classical training with piano and violin and was looking for something different to enhance her life. He has introduced her to a new genre of music that is fun and open to musical interpretation. Jan has inspired her creativity as well as learning to play the guitar!''
