There is a theater production called One Night with Janis Joplin staring an incredible singer Mary Bridget Davies. It made its world premiere last year at the Portland Center Stage in Oregon and had a successful run at the Cleveland Playhouse. Now it is playing at Arena Stage in Washington, D.C. You can read my review here.
Sometimes I blog about death notices, birthdays, and significant dates in music history on here from time to time. However, I did not realize 42 years from the date I went to the show October 4, 1970 Janis Joplin died. It was a weird coincidence.
The singer Mary Bridget Davies is the real deal she has toured with Big Brother and the Holding Company which was Janis Joplin's old band. It was a great show and if you are in D.C. and you like classic rock, blues, and/or Janis Joplin catch the show. If you are not in Washington keep an eye out for the show.
Here is a trailer for the show...
Here she is performing with Big Brother and the Holding Company...
and I will add in the real thing as well...
