West Kelowna Music in the Park Presented by RE/MAX
July 26 features a performance celebrating the music and spirit of Janis Joplin by Jan Kudelka in JANIS JANUS and the HEAT LIGHTNING at 8 pm. Jan Kudelka performs 17 songs from Janis Joplin’s legacy including additional Robbie Robertson, Leonard Cohen. The show is based on the direct transmission from Janis Joplin herself coming to and through Jan Kudelka during an astonishing Ontario thunderstorm. Followed by a series of dreams. Kudelka eerily encapsulates Joplin extraordinary energy beyond impersonation or the label tribute.
“Kudelka re-creates Joplin’s sound and style with unearthly force…the audience levitating in ecstasy” Georgia Straight
