Big Brother and the Holding Company is bringing their trademark psychedelic, Summer of Love rock to HopMonk this Friday, January 19th. The concert will be a musical tribute to Janis Joplin, in honor of her birthday.
***
Big Brother and the Holding Company-- along with bands like The Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Quicksilver Messenger Service – is considered one of the original, first wave of great psychedelic bands that came out of San Francisco in the summer of 1965.
The band launched the career of Janis Joplin and recorded the hit album "Cheap Thrills," cementing them as a part of rock music history. Their legacy as one of the great bands of the 1960s is secure. In their current live shows they perform original material as well as all of their legendary songs; “Piece of My Heart”, “Summertime”, “Ball and Chain”, “Bye Bye Baby” and more, as only the original creators of this music can.
