Saturday 9/24
Mary Bridget Davies Group

In 2005 an unexpected opportunity presented itself. An
open call audition for the smash Off-Broadway musical,
Love, Janis, needed a new lead actress/vocalist to
portray Janis Joplin. She auditioned and out of roughly
150 actors she came out with the lead! Love, Janis has
toured the country over with Mary at the Janis helm
since. Big Brother & the Holding Co., Janis Joplin's
original band, asked Mary to sing for them in 2006 as
well. She has enjoyed European tours and shows all over
the country with Big Brother since. Another amazing
opportunity presented itself during the summer of 2007
when Mary was asked to join the cast of the Tony Award
nominated Broadway musical It Aint Nothin' but the
Blues, an amazing piece about the history and evolution
of blues music. Now back with the Mary Bridget Davies
Group for only one year the band has enjoyed winning
second place in the 2011 International Blues Challenge
and has been nominated Best Blues Band by the Kansas
City Pitch
