"JANE DOE is an exciting combination of 2 veteran women performers in Pacific NW, and is easily the hottest duo in years! Ellen Whyte fronts her own multi-award winning band, and Sonny "Smokin" Hess is the lead guitar player for The Sonny Hess Band. Sonny also writes music and produces the NW Women Rhythm & Blues Show.

This combination of considerable talents gives us something that is not rock, not folk, not blues, but something hypothetical as the name "Jane Doe" might suggest. All it takes is two exceptional voices and two guitars to pull it off.

"Both Women are capable of penning some clever original tunes, and their individual voices and strengths on vocals and guitars mesh together smoothly" (Willamette Week)

"As Jane Doe, both Ellen Whyte and Sonny Hess have written songs of note, and with Sonny Hess being the stronger guitarist and Whyte the more powerful vocalist, the two compliment one another well" (The Oregonian)
