Jana Jae (1942 -- ) is a classically trained fiddler who plays in such diverse styles as country fiddling, western swing, bluegrass, pop and the classics. She started playing when she was two and a half years old. Both of her parents, and her maternal grandfather were accomplished violinists themselves.

In her youth, she won scholarships to Interlochen and the International String Congress. She graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in music and studied abroad at the Vienna Academy of Music.

She got her big break at a Buck Owens concert in Redding, California, when she was invited to take the stage and play "Orange Blossom Special." Owens was one of the first well known musicians to recognize her talents and offered her a job as the first female member of his Buckaroos band. She later became part of the regular team of performers on the "Hee Haw" show and has appeared with such country music greats as Chet Atkins, Roy Clark, Ray Stevens, The Oakridge Boys, Mel Tillis, Ricky Skaggs and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
