Tanya Janca is often compared to the famous female musician Ani Difranco for her blunt, piercing lyrics and her folk/punk style. During performances she plays with an emotional air, singing songs that subject matters range from sex, to feminism, to telling off strange men in bars. Full of intense energy, audiences are often surprised by her powerful voice and stage presence. Tanya Janca is also known for mocking her "over-serious" attitude by changing her lyrics to tease the audience and/or herself, telling jokes, and "jumping and yelling" on stage. She truly puts on an interesting and original show.
