Timeline
Janet Patricia Gardner (born March 17, 1962) is an American rock singer.
Gardner was born in Juneau, Alaska, and her birthday is listed as March 21, 1962.
Her father, Rulon B. Gardner, was a civil engineer who worked for the United States Forest Service in Utah, Alaska, and Michigan before taking a job in Bozeman, Montana, at the Forestry Sciences Laboratory at Montana State University in 1964, where Gardner grew up.
Her mother, Margaret, was a piano player and church organist.
Her parents were of the Latter-day Saint faith.
Janet was the only girl in a family with four brothers.
She sang in school choirs and learned to play piano and guitar.
Gardner became the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the all-woman hard rock band Vixen.
She is best known as the former lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the all-female glam metal band Vixen joining in 1983.
She was the band's longest serving vocalist having performed on three of the band's four studio albums.
She joined the band's early lineup in 1983, when it was a quintet.
In 1984, the band appeared in the movie Hardbodies as Diaper Rash before moving to Los Angeles to further their career, playing in the pop rock genre.
Gardner at the time was on lead vocals only.
Vixen signed with EMI's Manhattan Records and recorded their self-titled debut album which was released in September 1988.
Gardner described the pressure of recording as "We were just girls from Minnesota and Montana who loved playing live, so it was a bit of a rude awakening."
Their lead single "Edge of a Broken Heart" became their signature hit song.
It was co-written, arranged, and produced by Richard Marx.
Vixen would go on worldwide tours in support of Ozzy Osbourne, Scorpions, and Bon Jovi along with their own headline shows.
Vixen recorded and released their second album Rev It Up in July 1990.
When Vixen broke up in 1992 she took a hiatus from singing to pursue personal endeavors.
They toured for another year alongside KISS and Deep Purple before the band split up in 1992 citing musical differences.
She briefly unofficially reformed Vixen in 1997 with drummer Roxy Petrucci.
In 1997, Gardner and Petrucci reformed Vixen with Rana Ross and Gina Stile for a US tour.
In 1998, they recorded a third Vixen album titled Tangerine without Ross.
The album would be a shift in styles going to a more late-90s post-grunge sound rather than the 80s hair metal sound of the previous two albums.
Tangerine eventually became the last studio album for Gardner during her tenure with Vixen.
Roxy Petrucci's sister Maxine joined the group as bassist for a tour until they were sued by original member Jan Kuehnemund over trademark infringement involving the use of The Vixen name.
She returned to Vixen in 2001, later studying to become a dental hygienist.
In 2001, Kuehnemund decided to reform the band this time with Gardner and Petrucci, adding Pat Holloway on bass.
The newly reformed Vixen toured the United States as part of the Voices of Metal tour until disagreements with management once again caused the band to split in the middle of the tour.
Kuehnemund quickly replaced the band with three new members to finish the tour and they continued under The Vixen name.
In 2004 she took part in a Vixen reunion for a one-night-only gig as part of VH1's Bands Reunited TV show.
VH1 contacted the original Vixen lineup in 2004 and got them to appear on the show Bands Reunited.
The show featured a one-time reunion of the original group that aired in November 2004 coinciding with the re-release of the first two Vixen albums.
Gardner mostly stayed out of the spotlight until making a few special appearances singing with the band Scrap Metal in 2010 and 2011.
She returned to Vixen full-time in 2012.
In 2012, Share Ross and Roxy Petrucci, along with Gardner, contacted Jan Kuehnemund about reuniting the original Vixen, however Kuehnemund declined stating that she was happy with her new band.
Soon after, it was announced that Gardner, Ross, and Petrucci would form their own band along with Gina Stile.
In 2017, she released her self-titled debut solo album and in 2019 decided to leave Vixen to focus on family and her solo career.
