In memory of Janis Joplin on her birthday, I am honored to have been invited by the City of Beaumont Event Facilities Office to perform at the historic Jefferson Theatre in my hometown--Beaumont, Texas--situated in the Golden Triangle not far from where Janis grew up in Port Arthur, Texas near the Louisiana border. After my appearance, there will be a showing of the movie, Little Girl Blue, a new documentary on Janis's life and music. Needless to say, I am really looking forward to this evening and I hope that you will join us. "The Jefferson Theatre is a historic performing arts theatre located on Fannin Street in downtown Beaumont, Texas. Designed by Emile Weil and built in 1927, it is an example of Old Spanish architecture and seats over 1400."
