Straight Up! blends the wailing voice of singer/songwriter Janet Ryan, a recent arrival from
southern Fairfield County, Connecticut, by way of Chicago, Illinois, with the talents of Holyoke,
Massachusetts, blues guitarist/singer Ray Chaput. The feel of the music is blues, and it's combined with a
unique soulful sound that takes the music to another level. You can feel the influence of Etta James and Janis
Joplin, the blues of Buddy Guy and Junior Wells, and the soul of Otis Redding and Aretha Franklin.
Janet Ryan and Straight Up are a hard working band. In addition to headlining many gigs, they have opened
for James Cotton, Rod Piazza and the Mighty Fliers, the Holmes Brothers, The Blind Boys of Alabama, Sugar
Ray and the BlueTones, Magic Dick and J. Geils, Monster Mike Welch, Dickey Betts, Michael Hill's Blues
Mob, and Charles Neville, among others
