Jana performed at the Native American ball on Tuesday night and if I wasn’t asleep on my friend’s floor, completely passed out from waking up before dawn to get a spot on The Mall, I would have been there to see her. Below is the official video for her awesome Sam Cooke cover (which also features Derek Miller).
