Described as a “The voice of the new jazz culture with seemingly limitless expression” by Jazziz Magazine, the spirited and vivacious Janet Planet has been self-produced and managed for the majority of her 40-year career. Active in all aspects of the business, she is a performer, producer, teacher, voice-over talent, commercial singer and recording artist with over 25 recordings in her discography. She co-owns the Oshkosh-based Steel Moon Recording Studio. In 1995 she developed the independent record label, Stellar Records with her husband, Tom Washatka.
Her determination and creative output continue to take her around the world through her recordings and live performances. She has toured all over the U.S., Canada, Japan, Europe, South Africa, and Russia. Planet is a six-time WAMI award winner and, in 2014, she was inducted in to the WAMI Hall Of Fame.
Janet’s latest recording, “Under The Venus Moon” was considered for the GRAMMY in 2021.
“When it comes to understanding a lyric and the music behind it, Janet Planet ‘gets it’. Her soulful, heartfelt readings, with perfectly in tune, pure voice ‘from heaven’ brings the music to us on a silver platter, and really hits home. Brilliant arrangements, with her wonderful jazz players, gives each song its own personality while maintaining the integrity and overall message of the music they play with magnificent interplay!” — Gene Bertoncini, Jazz Guitarist
Janet will be joined by her long-time musical partner Tom Theabo (guitar), Mark Urness (bass) and Ryan Korb (percussion). The group brings their diverse musical experiences to the music they perform.

‘Caregiver Wellness’ Group Offered in Waushara County
Caregivers in Waushara County are invited to come together for the county’s new-look monthly Caregiver Wellness group beginning in June. Caregiver Wellness participants will identify and define individual pathways to physical, emotional, and holistic wellness comprehensively integrated through conversation, validation, and exploration with other caregivers and group facilitators.
The social group environment will lend to the fostering of community engagement with the intention of promoting and discovering the options, actions, and choices other caregivers have available to achieve comfort and success in their caregiver journey. Caregivers will learn, and share, with one another.
Marty Bechard, Caregiver Coordinator for Waushara County, says Caregiver Wellness group replaces the former Caregiver Support group. “As caregivers, we will talk about a variety of approaches to overall health and wellness while simultaneously providing care for our loved ones. It’s important that caregivers be able to identify available choices and resources when it comes to caring for themselves, at the same time they’re caring for their spouse, parent, other family member, or neighbor.”
The new meeting format also addresses requests from caregivers, combining support with an educational component, all in the same day. “It can be a challenge to find respite on multiple occasions instead of one longer block of time,” says Bechard. “I’m pleased we can offer this new format for our caregivers.”
The first meeting will take place on June 27, 2022, from 11:30am – 12:30pm, at Stahl’s Celebration and Remembrance Center on State Road 21/73 in Wautoma. Pre-registration is required, and respite services are available. There is no fee to attend. Following the meeting, attendees may take a “boxed lunch to go” or remain on-site to enjoy lunch and the topic Understanding and Responding to Dementia Related Behavior, with speaker Ginny Nyhuis from the Alzheimer’s Association, Wisconsin Chapter. To register, contact Marty, Waushara County Caregiver Support Coordinator, at 920-787-0403 or 1-877-364-5344 toll-free.

SCOTT KIRBY – SPECIAL OUTDOOR CONCERT JUNE 30 | THURSDAY | 7 P.M. Singer, songwriter, guitarist, storyteller, sailor, and road warrior. When he’s not writing songs or performing throughout the U.S. and Canada, he’s holding down the stage at his own club – Key West’s Smokin’ Tuna Saloon. This special concert will be located at 475 Lake Street, Green Lake. Tickets $25
Green Lake, Wis. (June 13, 2022) – Singer, songwriter, guitarist, storyteller, sailor, and road warrior are all words that aptly describe Scott Kirby. Kirby will play on Thursday, June 30, at the Havey Lot (475 Lake Street, Green Lake) at 7:00 p.m., Writing songs for a new CD, performing 150 live shows a year throughout the US and Canada, and holding down the stage at his club—Key West’s Smokin’ Tuna Saloon—keep the barnacles off this modern-day troubadour.
A creative lyricist and accomplished finger-style acoustic guitarist with an expressive voice, Kirby describes himself as a direct descendent of the ’70s singer/songwriter movement. When it comes to songwriting, Kirby respects authenticity and counts on everyday life and his coastal roots for much of his inspiration. “I don’t wake up every day thinking about writing the next commercial hit,” says Kirby. “Songwriting for me is about telling stories, expressing emotions, and commentary on things I may find funny or absurd.” Over the years, Kirby has shared the stage with some of his favorite artists: Carole King, Jimmy Buffett, Livingston Taylor, Tom Rush, Mac McAnally, Peter Mayer, and others. When not on the road or performing in Key West, Kirby splits his time between Livingston, Montana, and the coast of New Hampshire, where he can often be found sailing, a lifelong passion of this descendent of Newfoundland fishers.
Audience members should bring their own lawn chairs; we ask for no beverage carry-ins, as a bar and cocktails will be available.
This event is generously underwritten by Mike and Jill Havey and Havey Communications.
Tickets for the Scott Kirby performance on June 30 at 7:00 p.m. are $25 and available at www.thrasheroperahouse.com or by calling 920.294.4279
