Known as Australasia’s foremost female Boogie & Blues Piano player and singer, Jan Preston delivers high energy performances which, together with her candid and communicative personality, has given her longstanding popularity in Australia, NZ and overseas.

Winner of 5 Music Awards, Jan plays festivals and concerts throughout UK, Europe, Australia and NZ. Jan also tours her own shows, and writes music for films and television, such as the music to her sister Gaylene Preston’s Films Home By Christmas and My Year With Helen. On returning from New York in 1980, Jan formed NZ band Coup D’Etat who had a hit single with the song, Dr I Like Your Medicine.

Studying for many years as a classical pianist, Jan’s childhood memories of hearing her Aunt in Greymouth playing boogie and ragtime in the style of Winifred Atwell, caused her to cross over into this style.
