Biography
Jamie Janover is recognized as a true musical and artistic innovator. His many talents include being a master of the ancient percussion stringed instrument called the hammered dulcimer (he won the 2002 National Hammered Dulcimer Championship), inventing an instrument he calls the "mini-kit" (a miniature amplified drum kit), playing pyrocussion (fire drums) and creating the Realmsmobile (a recumbent tricycle with the mini-kit attached, enabling him to ride and play drums simultaneously), among many other diverse creative outputs.
Janover also plays the drum-kit, sitar, tamboura, didjeridu, tabla, congas, electric kalimba and all types of percussion instruments in his considerable collection. He maintains a rigorous touring schedule year-round with many projects that he rotates through. His main touring project currently is LYNX & Janover. He also does shows with ZILLA (w/ Michael Travis from SCI and Aaron Holstein), PRAANG (with Steve Kimock, Travis & Hann) and large ensemble gigs with Everyone Orchestra.
