CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Acclaimed Northeast Ohio blues singer Mary Bridget Davies will take over Janis Joplins official Facebook page at 5 p.m. on Wednesday, March 25, for a virtual performance.
Davies will perform a mix of Joplins music, along with acoustic singles from her new album, Stay With Me -- a reimagining of music by Jerry Ragovoy, the songwriter behind Joplins hit single, Piece Of My Heart.
The singer is known for her performances of Joplins music, even earning a 2014 Tony Award nomination for her portrayal of the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer in the musical A Night with Janis Joplin.
The show -- streamed virtually due to the coronavirus crisis -- will allow audience members to ask questions in the comments section of the post. Davies announced the show on Monday, March 23 with a Facebook post.
As promised, a little happy-half hour break for you all, the post states. On Wednesday, 5 p.m. EST, we join hands with Janis Joplin Facebook page to bring you an acoustic treat; songs from my new album, Janis classics and so much more. Facebook LIVE from my living room! Oh, yes we did, honey. Tune in to Janis Joplin and come on, come on, come on....
