The role of Janis Joplin has been cast.
Joplinaire #1: Backup singer, and featured singer evocative of Aretha Franklin and Nina Simone; must be able to sing “Summertime” in the original vocal style of the song and key.
Joplinaire #2: Backup singer, and featured singer evocative of Etta James and The Chantels.

Joplinaire #4: Backup singer, and featured Blues Singer, also evocative of The Chantels; also should be able to sing “Summertime” in the original vocal style and key.
Janis Joplin Alternate: force of nature, a genuine spirit, “a white chick singin’ the blues,” an original. The rock and roll legend, an old soul. Great, authentic rock & roll/blues voice with incredible range and chords of steel. Also covers Joplinaire backup vocals.
