The Better Times Project has a new, dedicated website!

The Better Times Project has a new home. When this project first started, back in April, there were just a handful of artists contributing. Now there are almost 150. As the project began to grow the decision was made to create a new website for everything. We hope you like the new home. You can listen to all of the different versions of "Better Times Will Come" and watch all the videos. You can also download the songs, sheet music, lyrics, coloring pages and more. Visit the new site and let us know what you think.

Janis Ian Announces Wearables & More

I've partnered with Hogan Made, a small Tampa-based business that's offered to create T-shirts, masks, pillows, and whatever else we can come up with, using quotes from my songs and prose. In turn, Hogan Made will be sending a full third of every cent you spend on these items (not including postage of course) directly to the Pearl Foundation. So if you spend $24.00 on something, the Pearl Foundation will receive $8.00. That's 100% of my share - I'm making nothing, Hogan Made are covering their material and labor costs. Nobody's getting rich here!
