Just Passing Through

Just Passing Through is the latest offering from Victorian singer songwriter JAN BENTLEY. A multi finalist in many Songwriting competitions, Just Passing Through is an illustration of well-developed and adept songwriting.
From the opening track Blue Sky, a song about heading off on a new adventure and making your dreams a reality, to the final track, aptly named Happy Ending, this album tells tales of personal journey and experiences. With country, folk and Celtic influences, this album also features some charming ballads including the title track, Just Passing Though and the effortless What We Have.
The production of this album is uncomplicated which compliments the well-crafted songs and allows space for them to tell their story.
Jan’s voice is sweet and clear and paints pictures with melody, sincere lyrics and genuine feeling portrayed within her vocals.
Just Passing Through is an adventure in song, it is honest, tells tales of lessons learned, whilst still remaining full of hope.

"Jan Bentley makes music with folky acoustic guitar and unpretentious vocal embroidery. Humanity, observations on the world and self are the subjects for Jan’s pen. A mix of folk, pop and contemporary cross-over country, her music is smooth and flawless. Jan doesn’t paint pictures with her music; she paints thoughts and feelings."
