Jae is also honored to be performing and judging in the mother-contest of fiddling, the National Oldtime Fiddler’s Contest, taking place during the Weiser Fiddle Festival in Weiser, Idaho from June 19-23. The festival is set to draw over 200 fiddlers from around the country. Jae credits her experiences at the Weiser Fiddle Festival for her inspiration to learning many styles from different fiddlers nationwide.



From there Jae will embark on a two week tour through Romania, marking the 50th country in the world she has performed in. Jae will be playing alongside her Gypsy Swing Trio during the annual Gypsy Week in Sighisoara, Romania. Her performances will also include collaborations with Romanian gypsy dancers, and concerts with her International String Quartet in the mountainous regions of Predeal, near the famed Dracula’s castle in Transylvania.



After Romania, Jae’s trademark Magic Blue Fiddle will once again be put to good use when she reunites with several of her former Hee Haw cast members for a Kornfield Friends tour in the fall of 2018. Jae, along with LuLu Roman, Misty Rowe, Buck Trent and others, will once again recreate the best of the best for Hee Haw fans with a spectacular show.



"Hee Haw and the 'magic blue fiddle' put my career in high gear, allowing me to share music all over the world,” Jae explained. “At the end of 2018, I will have performed in 50 countries, representing America and sharing our country's musical heritage. We are still on the road! Music is definitely the international language and sharing it world-wide is pure joy!!"

Jana Jae taught music during her early career until she felt inspired to take her unique blend of music on the road. Jana, and her trademark 'Magic Blue Fiddle,' soon took the world of country music by storm. Buck Owens was one of the first big names to recognize her talent and hired her as the first female member of his “Buckaroos” band, and she was part of the regular team of performers on the popular television show, “Hee Haw.” She won national credos as an acclaimed fiddler, and has appeared with country greats such as Buck Owens, Roy Clark, Chet Atkins, the Oak Ridge Boys and Ricky Skaggs.
