A Night with Janis Joplin
February 11, 2018 @ 7:30 pm
NEW DATE – ORIGINAL TICKETS HONORED
A Night with Janis Joplin at the Portland’5 Keller Auditorium is postponed until Sunday, February 11, 2018 at 7:30pm from the original date of Tuesday, October 17, 2017. Original tickets for October 17 will be honored on the new date.
Like a comet that burns far too brightly to last, Janis Joplin exploded onto the music scene in 1967 and, almost overnight, became the queen of rock & roll. The unmistakable voice, filled with raw emotion and tinged with Southern Comfort, made her a must-see headliner from Monterey to Woodstock. Now, Portland is invited to share an evening with the woman and her musical influences in the hit musical A Night With Janis Joplin.
Fueled by such unforgettable songs as “Me and Bobby McGee,” “Piece of My Heart,” “Mercedes Benz,” “Cry Baby” and “Summertime,” this sensational show is a musical journey celebrating Joplin and her biggest musical influences—icons like Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Odetta, Nina Simone and Bessie Smith, who inspired one of rock & roll’s greatest legends.
