In this episode of The Jeremiah Show, GRAMMY® Award–winning guitarist and composer Janet Robin sits down with Jeremiah for a wide-ranging conversation about the moments—and mentors—that shaped her life in music.
Janet shares how guitar became her “security blanket” as a kid, and how studying one-on-one with Randy Rhoades (as his youngest student and the only girl in his class) gave her both technique and confidence—especially his insistence that students develop their own sound.
From her early years playing clubs in L.A. with the all-female band Precious Metal (and the whirlwind of being discovered and signed young), to being handpicked by Lindsey Buckingham for a demanding “guitar army” tour that sharpened her discipline and pushed her toward solo work, Janet traces a career built on hustle, professionalism, and creativity.
She also discusses coaching Jennifer Jason Leigh for The Hateful Eight, the unforgettable story behind the film’s famously smashed vintage Martin, and the full-circle Grammy win with The String Revolution for their instrumental “Folsom Prison Blues” recorded at Cash Cabin with John Carter Cash and guest guitarist Tommy Emmanuel—plus what’s next, including new releases, touring, and a blues project drawing from Library of Congress recordings.
Join Grammy®-Winning Guitar Trio, The String Revolution, for a night of unmatched guitar magic at Boulevard Music on January 17 at 8:00 PM.
