I was just checking out the Joplinesque website, reading the program for an Evening with Janis.. I am amazed that again you are doing some of her GREATEST songs ever!!!

Not only Little Girl Blue, but also, I Need A Man to Love, Buried Alive in the Blues, and even A Woman Left Lonely!!! My goodness!!! I may sound a little crazy but this is all just so exciting to me!!! Four outta my top 5 Janis tunes!! Only one missing in there would be To Love Somebody!

The whole show was so Janis! From the flamboyant entrance on the bike, the shakin it and hammin it up with the fellow members of the band, the waving cigarette, your complete attire, choice words and dialogue, right down to the southern comfort! You nailed it! Thanks again for such a memorable night! I look forward to enjoying as many of your future gigs as possible!!!”

Brian is one of my closest musical friends and mentors and Maren has a voice that could seduce even a nun (especially a nun?).

I am really looking forward to playing and singing with these two – not to be missed!

Anyone who remembers jazz at Tiannakeem’s will know what a treat Brian is on stage!

The Pride in Perth after-party will be held at the Perth Restaurant, Google Map below.  This show will start around 8:30 or 9pm after the main concert is tied up at PDCI.

Concert ticket holders will get into the after-party at no cost – non-ticket holders will need to pay a cover charge (I think it’s $5).

Thrilled for the opportunity, everyone jumped at the chance to participate in such an exciting event!

Join Joplinesque this Saturday night at PDCI for a show that will rock your world – details and tickets available on the LGBT Lanark County website: http://lgbtlanark.com/event/pride-2012-concert-with-joplinesque/

Joplinesque is thrilled  to be heading to Pembroke, Ontario on September 8th to do a fundraising show in memory of Dana Lisa Rondeau – or, as her friends knew her, Dana Dreamer.

Joplinesque lead singer, Shelley Montreuil, grew up with Dana on Chamberlain Street in Pembroke so Montreuil was quite surprised to hear that her childhood friend had received a terminal diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia.  Certainly a woman so young should not have to even consider crossing this bridge!

Dana had been wanting to get out and see Joplinesque in action – Janis Joplin was one of her favorite performers – so Montreuil didn’t think twice about bringing the show to her as a gesture of good friendship and hopefully as a way to raise some money to help Dana with her expenses.

Unfortunately, Dana did succumb to her leukemia and far too soon … but the party is still on.  This will be a celebration of Dana’s life and still an opportunity to raise some funds to help cover her costs.

Most of all, we are certain that at least now, Dana will be able to attend her own party.

Please join us if you can on September 8th at 7:30 pm at the Westside Tap and Grill in Pembroke Ontario.  Suggested donation of $10 per person.

And please patronize our fine sponsors, Westside Tap and Grill and the Champlain Motor Inn.
