Blues & Grooves / Urban Slick to Tent Revival

Central New York three piece band, the Zelltones generate outstanding musical variety - rolling blues, swing, swamp and funk into a potent groove while keeping a foothold in pop and rock.   

Zell’s willful vocals and expressive guitar are driven by a solid rhythm section to create compelling live performances that hit home with bluesy roots and distinctive takes on classic covers, along with Jane's own crowd pleasing originals.  

Jane is back in the studio working on a new release planned for the spring of 2026. At present she has two recordings of  predominantly original material: Sista' Moon and Almost Real. Both discs were nominated for a Syracuse Area Music Award. 

Jane Zell performs solo, in different combos and with her band the Zelltones.
