The Trio
Meet The Merry Janes
Three vocalists united by a love of close harmony, vintage style, and the magic of the holiday season!
Holiday Harmony, Chicago Style
The Merry Janes are an all-female vocal trio performing beloved Christmas favorites with the close harmony and playful spirit of classic girl groups. Drawing inspiration from The Andrews Sisters, The McGuire Sisters, and The Supremes, they bring a warm vintage sound to holiday celebrations throughout the Chicago area.
Each performance blends timeless Christmas standards with the trio's own personality — tight three-part harmony, a touch of humor, and the kind of seasonal warmth that turns any gathering into a genuine celebration.
The Merry Janes have entertained clients throughout Chicagoland and beyond for over 10 years. Let them make your Seasonal event sparkle!
Amanda, Leslie and Jen are three of Chicagoland's BUSIEST singerS, regularly appearing with their own combos at premiere venues like The Green Mill, ANdy's, hotel Intercontinental and The Drake. They ALSO happen to Fa-La-LOVE Christmas!
