Festival Nation Ep. 15: A Night with Janis Joplin

Author: Pantheon Media October 19, 2019 Duration: 41:25
On today's episode, Host Marla Davies talks with Mary Bridget Davies who plays Janis Joplin in the Broadway Production of 'A Night with Janis Joplin' which recently traveled to San Jose . The pair talk about the events that made the women, the women who made the music and the music that changed history. Tony nominated singer Mary Bridget Davies is exceptional in the roll and has the same grit, passion and power as Joplin. You'll also have a chance to compare Davies and Joplin both singing their versions of 'Ball and Chain'. You may be tricked to know the difference. You'll also hear from Monterey Pop Festivalgoer Dino Fields, who as a teenager saw Joplin in her now famous performance at the Monterey County Fairgrounds - Saturday June 17, 1967. Songs: 'Ball and Chain' - Mary Bridget Davies at BB King's NYC - July 28, 2014 'Ball and Chain' - Janis Joplin at the Monterey Pop Festival - Saturday June 17, 1967 Woodstock Nation is on the Pantheon Podcast Network.

There's a particular energy that exists only in a field full of strangers united by a beat, a lyric, a shared sunset. Festival Nation with Marla Davies captures that intangible feeling in every episode. Hosted by the seasoned Bay Area radio voice Marla Davies, this podcast digs into the vibrant culture surrounding music festivals, far beyond just the lineup posters. Conversations here feel like the best kind of festival chat: spontaneous, insightful, and deeply connected to the music. You’ll hear from artists about what it’s really like to step onto that stage, from cultural figures who shape the scene, and from dedicated fans whose stories are the heart of the experience. Together, they explore how these temporary communities are built and why that festival spirit lingers long after the last chord fades. It’s about the enduring power of music to bring people together and create lasting memories. This Pantheon Media production is for anyone who has ever felt that collective rush or wonders what magic happens behind the scenes. Each episode is a reminder that the music is just the beginning of the story.
