A Jan Preston concert will take you on a journey. From her first explosive virtuoso boogie piano instrumental, through heart-felt blues and ballads, with a smattering of her original film music, Jan is unique and magnetic. A long time beloved Kiwi performer, Jan is known for her energy, sparkling charm and wit.

Her 2024 shows include new material added to audience favourites such as the Bumbleboogie and Trout Blues, currently used as the theme music to BBC London’s evening Radio program.
She will be joined by special guests Mike Pullman on percussion and Radio NZ’s Nick Tipping on acoustic bass, producing a trio of dynamic boogie and blues grooves.

Originally from Greymouth, Sydney-based Kiwi expat Jan Preston will rattle the cobwebs with her infectious brand of virtuoso piano boogie woogie.

From a background in classical music with a long-term interest in composition and song writing, Jan’s early career began in NZ as a founding member and musical director of performance troupe Red Mole this led to her first band and a 1980 Hit with Coup D’Etat. Winner of 5 music awards, she also composes music for film and TV, is known for her energetic performances, sultry blues voice and candid humour.
