Janis Lyn Joplin entered "The 27 Club" — the storied list of musicians who died at age 27 — on October 4, 1970. Thirty-four years later, a year shy of her 27th birthday, Cleveland songstress Mary Bridget Davies continued Joplin's legacy of soulful, awe-inspiring performances with Joplin's original band: Big Brother and the Holding Company. "Mary Bridget has a lot of power," says Sam Andrew, guitarist of the legendary San Francisco psychedelic-rock band. She uses it for the good. The audience can tell that she is with them, and they are important to her."
