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.
