MARY BRIDGET DAVIES started singing at blues jams in Cleveland and in 2005 won the lead role for a touring production of Love, Janis. She has toured in Europe with Janis Joplin’s original band, Big Brother and the Holding Company, and in 2012, Davies took over the lead role in A Night with Janis Joplin on tour. She stayed with the show when it moved to Off-Broadway and ultimately to Broadway in 2013, earning Tony and Helen Hayes Award nominations for Best Lead Actress in a Musical for her performance. Davies has also toured with the musical revue It Ain’t Nothin’ But the Blues and she has performed at SXSW and a four-night residency in Pasadena, CA, where she was joined by The Doors’ Robby Krieger, Slash, The MC5’s Wayne Kramer, and Gnarls Barkley.
JERRY RAGOVOY was the legendary songwriter for such hits as Janis Joplin‘s “A Piece Of My Heart”, “Cry Baby” and “Try, Just A Little Bit Harder”. He was also known for his composition “Time Is on My Side”, made famous by The Rolling Stones after initial recordings by Kai Winding and Irma Thomas. The album also contains a new arrangement of “Stay With Me”, which was originally recorded by Lorraine Ellison and made famous by Bette Midler in her film The Rose, as well as by Mary J. Blige’s performance at the 49th Grammy Awards. “Piece Of My Heart” was also recently featured in HBO series Big Little Lies starring Nicole Kidman, Meryl Streep and Reese Witherspoon.
Jordan Matter
Jordan Matter never planned to be a professional photographer. It was either baseball or acting that was going to be his obvious career choice. But one day he attended an exhibit by photojournalist Henri Cartier-Bresson. His attitude began to change. Cartier-Bresson’s images of humanity moved Jordan to learn how to photograph people intimately. Soon it became a hobby. Then it became a passion. But it only became a career when he decided to outdo photos for his friend who had just paid too much for bad headshots. He did. Her agents soon sent Jordan their clients, who in turn recommended him to their friends, and a photography career was born. The Today Show, Tyra Banks, MSNBC, CBS, NBC and the BBC have since profiled Jordan. Look for Jordan Matter’s Dancers Among Us, a New York Times Bestseller.
