She's affectionately known as the 'Queen of Australian Boogie Piano' and this Australian domiciled New Zealand performer has a rich resonant voice to match. Jan Preston is with us in studio with bandmates Nigel Masters (upright bass) and Mike Pullman (percussion) to perform 'Blues and the Boogie', the opening track from her new album, Play it Again, Jan, and 'Small Town Girl' (a song about growing up in Greymouth) and to talk about her upcoming 88 Pianos I Have Known tour, which kicks off The PumpHouse Theatre in Takapuna today.
