Once described by a talk show host as "like a ray of sunshine on stage," it doesn’t take long to notice Jane loves entertaining and meeting people.

As a member of USO Shows, she toured the Far East and entertained at military bases in Korea, Japan, Okinawa, Taiwan, the Philippines and Guam. A second USO tour took her to American bases in the Azores and Europe, bringing a touch of home to thousands of US military personnel. In addition, she has performed in other parts of the world such as Australia and New Zealand, the former Soviet Union, Scandinavia, and South America.

Jane studied serious accordion literature with Joan Cochran Sommers at the University of Missouri–Kansas City Conservatory of Music and graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree in accordion performance. Since graduating from college, Jane has kept very busy performing for corporate functions, country clubs, restaurants, casinos, trade shows, anniversary and birthday celebrations, and other special occasions.

She has also been featured as a guest artist at accordion festivals around the country, presenting her workshops, "Playing the Accordion for Fun and Fame!" and "Squeezing Money Out of Your Accordion." Video versions of her workshops and other accordion videos are available through her company, Music With A Smile Productions, L.L.C.

With her enthusiasm and megawatt smile, you're sure to enjoy Jane Christison, MUSIC WITH A SMILE®!
