This performance will feature Jana Mougin:

Of all the singers who might legitimately be called Nashville’s best-kept secret, none would have a stronger claim, if she were the kind of person to make it, than Dark Shadow Records’ Jana Mougin. Born in Slovakia, trained as a classical vocalist, Jana became the lead singer, electric bassist and frontperson for the Czech/Slovak bluegrass band, Fragment. Joining in 1993, she spent a dozen years with the group as they toured around the continent and in the United States, recording eight albums along the way and earning her fans not just among audiences, but among her colleagues, too.

In 2006, she married Sam Bush Band guitarist Stephen Mougin and moved to the United States—and when, a few years later, their son, Sammy, was born, and they launched Dark Shadow Studios, followed by Dark Shadow Records, family and the family business became her top priorities. That’s not to say that she hasn’t found opportunities to sing, contributing exquisitely supportive harmonies—and even an occasional lead—here and there, especially as Dark Shadow began to build a roster of artists who were recording at their studio.

Still, when a Dark Shadow recording session brought an all-star band into the studio, Jana and Stephen seized the opportunity to put her expressive voice in the spotlight—and in “If I Didn’t Love You,” her first single as an artist on her own, she had a great vehicle picked out. Over the past three years she and Stephen released a number of chart topping duets, including the most recent - “There’s No Reason To.”
