Hey Janis Fans!

Post by CHICKSINGA »

There is a new reality/talent contest up and coming - "The Search for a Pearl" - a nation-wide search for a woman who sings Janis Joplin songs will be selected to go on tour with Big Brother and the Holding Company, Full-Tilt Boogie Band and Kozmic Blues. The details aren't set yet but to get information go to :

Hell, I'll probably give it a go if they let old chicks like me give it a try.

Heck, they should just get Joss Stone to do it.

I love Joss - but I think she sounds more like Aretha. Melissa Etheridge was pretty great on Piece of my Heart at the Grammys.
I guess the purpose is to give an unknown the shot. Joss' future's pretty set-up I'd say!

I'll be the one left standing behind you, looking the other way as you glance back at what you've lost.

Hell Esa, We'll go together! We'll make a road trip of it! Come on girls - surely there's more of us Janis-philes out there!
This could be fun!

I know CHIKSINGA's great, but another local singer (now based mostly in NC but still comes home to visit and play a little) from Duboise who's also great in a Janis way is my friend Jen Bertieux (nickname redhead Jen), anyone ever heard her? I will let her know about this...

To sound like Janis, all one needs to do is chain smoke 100 cartons of cigarettes, gargle some gravel, and then slit your throat - BAM!!

You've just taken it up another notch! :twisted:
