Janis Joplin freedom’s just another shirt

This Saturday the 12-year tradition continues in golden style as we wish Janis Joplin a happy birthday, in a way only Minnesota artist Jill Mikelson and special guests Reed Grimm, and Mae Simpson can do. The mystique of Janis Joplin has both captivated and haunted the souls of artists since her passing in 1970. Her short life and musical career still hold influence over multiple generations, as Jill Mikelson and guests keep the birthday candles lit 49 years since her passing. Janis Joplin freedom’s just another shirt.
Jill Mikelson holds the title of President/Executive Producer of Happy Birthday Janis.
[Music In Minnesota] How did this B-day celebration become a tradition?
[Jill Mikelson] I had the honor of playing Janis Joplin in a show in 2007 at Ordway Center called LOVE, JANIS for 10 weeks and after the show closed, I just didn’t want to stop sharing her life and music, so we put together a show right around her birthday (January 19th) and started the annual tribute. The first show was at Mayslacks in 2008, and it was a huge success, so we moved over to The Cabooze for many years before being asked to bring the show to the main room at First Avenue in 2017. 
 After 49 years why are we still fascinated with Janis?
[JM] Think Janis brought something unique and raw and real to the stage and our hearts. She didn’t move to San Francisco and start singing with the goal to be a rock-n-roll legend. She went there yearning for love and authenticity and a place where she could just be herself and surround herself with other people that felt the same way. She didn’t try to control or manipulate who she was on or off the stage. She sang with heart and soul and gave it her absolute all. Without knowing it, she paved a path for women in rock and created a space for us to command the stage and made it ok to do it in our own way. But more than that, she was a young woman from a small town in Texas with the soul of an old blues singer, and she followed her heart to San Francisco to pursue a passion and a love for music. She was determined to be just exactly who she was, and she poured her soul out on that stage so her audience could be a part of that too.
