Tell Mama! Janis Joplin by Karise Eden
About this event
Since helping redefine rock more than half a century ago, Janis Joplin has never stopped finding new audiences. In Tell Mama!, ARIA Award winner Karise Eden revives the spirit and extraordinary legacy of one of rock's most influential voices in a powerful live concert.
Beginning with an intimate acoustic set inspired by Janis's early folk-blues recordings, the production builds into a full-band performance complete with brass section, breathing new life into classics including Piece of My Heart, Cry Baby, Move Over and Me and Bobby McGee.
More than a tribute, Tell Mama! is Karise's heartfelt interpretation of an artist whose influence continues to shape musicians today, weaving Janis's songs together with her own original, Tomorrow.
Powerful, authentic and uplifting, Tell Mama! celebrates music that continues to transcend generations.
We honour and acknowledge the Whadjuk Nyoongar people as Traditional Owners of the land on which we work and live. We pay our respects to elders past, present and emerging and recognise that the land and sovereignty has never been ceded.
