Jane Lecroy is Transmitting has been producing its own brand of "improvisational experimental pop" for nearly a decade. The rigorous work put in is proven on their latest record 'Dark and Full of Life.' Poetry and song by Jane Lecroy, Tom Abbs on the cello and Kevin Raczka on the drums create music that "takes the audience on a lucid musical and lyrical ride." Lecroy has an organic aura about her, and her performance is influenced by this. She will certainly have you mesmorized with her enrapturing lyrics.  Check out Jane Lecroy's website for more information.
