A Night with Janis Joplin
October 15, 2019 at 7:30 p.m.
Tickets: $45-$59
A Night with Janis Joplin is a musical journey celebrating Janis Joplin and her biggest musical influences-trailblazers like Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Odetta, Nina Simone, and Bessie Smith, all of whom inspired Joplin to become one of Rock 'n' Roll's greatest legends. Like a comet that burns far too brightly to last, Joplin exploded onto the music scene in 1967 and, almost overnight, became the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll. Her unmistakable voice, filled with raw emotion and tinged with Southern Comfort, made Joplin a must-see headliner from Monterey to Woodstock. Audiences will enjoy Joplin's favorites, including "Piece of My Heart," "Cry Baby," "Me and Bobby McGee," and many others. Created, written and directed by Randy Johnson, A Night With Janis Joplin is a musical that's staged like a rock concert that you never want to end.

Mark O'Connor's "An Appalachian Christmas"

Mark O'Connor's "An Appalachian Christmas" is an evening of elegant interpretations of Christmas classics, delivering stunning vocal harmonies and sophisticated instrumentals within classic Christmas music. Grammy Award-winning composer and fiddler Mark O'Connor has created several arrangements of Christmas classics and fashions a wondrous mixture of both instrumental and vocal music in bluegrass and other American music genres. Concertgoers are treated to fresh takes on traditional songs with a few original compositions included. His renditions are playful and joyous, but can be strikingly earnest too. The touring musicians with Mark O'Connor include his wife Maggie O'Connor, son Forrest O'Connor, and daughter-in-law Kate Lee O'Connor of the newly Grammy Award-winning Mark O'Connor Band. The ensemble has a dynamic energy on stage that brings their individual expertise to holiday themes and classics in a delightful and musically satisfying way.
