Set up like a virtual club, Music Up Close highlights specific areas, changing them as the month's theme or mood strikes her. In-depth artist profiles can be found under Main Stage, CD reviews are highlighted in The Studio, periodic industry insider features show up in Backstage, and a female artist is featured in Club Ladies. A regular feature every month is a virtual meet-and-greet in the Sonicbids Lounge, where Janie takes her cyber cocktail and introduces you to ten hot new Sonicbids artists.
