Dear friends and colleagues:
Singer/songwriter Janell Rock passed away in at 9:40 p.m. July 8, 2008 in
San Diego with her family and friends by her side.
I met Janell at the 2004 OutMusic Awards at the Knitting Factory in New
York. She was nominated for “Quiet Thrill” in the Outstanding New Recording
Debut Female category and performed her song “Gertrude and Steins.” While we
were backstage, I remember she expressed she was in pain, however, had put her
discomfort aside to enjoy her moments on stage at the awards ceremony. Her
performance was wonderful and engaging.
Since then we kept in contact I was kept in touch during her fight with
cancer. My friendship with Janell enriched my life and touched my heart with her
songs and beautiful spirit.
Please light a candle, say a prayer or just think of her. The music
community has lost a memorable and brave artist. Her legacy can be found at
_www.janellrock.com_ (http://www.janellrock.com/) .
There will be a celebration of her life in San Diego and in Seattle soon.
