Listings | Reykjavík Grapevine | Issue 01 2008 | B5 On her would-be 65th birthday, Friday, January 19, a group of vocal soloists will perform at Organ in tribute to the musical stylings and accomplishments of blues-rock-legend Janis Joplin. Andrea Gylfadóttir, Lay Low, Elí- za, Diva de la Rósa, Didda, Kenya, Rag- nheiður Gröndal, and Jenni of Brain Police, among others, will perform songs from Joplin’s short-lived record- ing career.Joplin rose to fame in the late 60s as the lead singer of blues outfit Big Brother and the Holding Company before veering off and establishing the beginnings of a successful solo career, and in her short lifetime earned the sta- tus of something of a legendary rugged blues-mama. The interpretations of her songs will surely vary greatly in temperament and arrangement, as artists from a vari- ety of musical genres in the Reykjavík scene come together to celebrate her work. The concert begins at 21:00. Ad- mission costs 2,000 ISK.
