Vixen frontwoman Janet Gardner to release solo album via Pavement Entertainment on Aug. 18th

Vixen singer/guitarist Janet Gardner will release her first solo album that she completed with guitarist Justin James on August 18, 2017 via Pavement Entertainment.

Pavement Entertainment‘s press release states in part (with slight edits):

“Best known as the lead vocalist of the all 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’” and found the band opening for the likes of Deep Purple, Ozzy Osbourne, the Scorpions, Kiss, and Bon Jovi.

Teaming up with guitarist/songwriter/producer Justin James (having worked with Staind, Collective Soul, Tyketto), Gardner has ventured into the solo realm to unleash a new side of her musical creativity. Together, Janet and James 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.

A sample teaser was put up on YouTube and literally exploded overnight. This quickly landed a deal with Pavement Entertainment. Early feedback on the album has stated that “Janet’s voice is just as dynamic and powerful as it was back in 1988. Rock fans are going to be blown away by this solo album”…

In an era primarily dominated by male rock musicians, Vixen’s all female line up matched with their undeniable musicianship and Gardner’s unique and powerful vocal style propelled the band quickly to Gold Album status and earned the band critically acclaimed success that is still celebrated to this day. Vixen, along with their predecessors, helped pave the way for the current wave and success of female fronted acts such as Halestorm, In This Moment, The Pretty Reckless, and many others.
