JANIS IAN & JENNIE DEVOE In Concert at Civic Theatre
Local & Legendary Musical Women Rock Civic in November!
JANIS IAN & JENNIE DEVOE In Concert
at historic Muncie CivicTheatre!
MUNCIE CIVIC THEATRE, Delaware County's historic 75-year old arts leader, presents JENNIE DEVOE IN CONCERT on Saturday, November 5 at 8:00pm and JANIS IAN IN CONCERT on Saturday, November 12 at 8:00pm. Tickets for Jennie DeVoe are all $20. Tickets for Janis Ian are $20 for regular seating and $25 for premium seating in either the first 7 rows of the main section, or the Balcony 21-Club featuring a cash bar. These one-night-only performances will be on the main stage at Muncie Civic Theatre, 216 East Main Street, Muncie, Indiana. Tickets are available by calling 765-288-PLAY or at the Box Office.
JENNIE DEVOE is an independent, Indianapolis, IN based, singer/songwriter on her own label -Rubin the Cat Music. Her soulful, funky, trip-hop style is unique only to herself. Jennie has been developing her own pop-style over the last several years by honing in her songwriting skills and blending her intelligent - sometimes heavy, sometimes humorous - lyrics with hippie-funk grooves. As Jennie makes her way into new markets - she leaves with the hearts of new fans. Jennie has been winning over audiences belonging to John Hiatt, Joe Cocker, Shawn Mullins, Susan Tedeschi, John Mayer, Lilith Fair goers and more. Jennie has sold nearly 20,000 cds of her releases, "Does She Walk on Water" and "Ta Da". She's done it the true grass roots way with fans attracted to something different and true spreading the word and bringing converts to each show. Jennie writes her own songs and sings with a sensual-gospel-tinged- honey-gravel-gigantic soul of a voice. She's earned three John Lennon Songwriting Contest Honorable Mentions, licensed her songs to major television shows and Corona Beer. Her song "How I Feel" is getting radio adds around the country with its infectious melody and bittersweet insight into both sides of a relationship on the. Although she gets compared to some of her favorite deep-thinking artists and passionate performers like Ani DiFranco, Tori Amos, Janis Joplin and Lucinda Williams, Jennie is carving out her own place in the hearts of today's listeners.
JANIS IAN is a legendary musical artist known for her ethereal vocals, poetic wordplay, and sublime melodies. Through more than three decades, Ian has managed to keep her music fresh and inspiring, always winning praise for her remarkable songwriting and tender voice. Raised on a farm in southern New Jersey, Ian's father and mother steeped her in classical and folk music, with a healthy dollop of jazz. She began playing the piano at age 2 ¬Ω, moving on to the guitar at 10, and writing her first song ("Hair of Spun Gold") at twelve. In 1966, at the age of 15, Ian's career exploded with the release of her controversial tale of teenage interracial love, "Society's Child". The self-penned song topped the charts and created a storm of controversy that featured Ian on The Tonight Show and in Life, Time and Newsweek. Her debut album, 1967's Janis Ian, earned Ian the first of nine Grammy nominations. Ian soared to new heights in the 1970s with her trio of masterpiece albums: Stars, Between the Lines, and Aftertones. Stars included the hit song "Jesse," which Roberta Flack made a pop standard. Between The Lines propelled Ian to superstardom with "At Seventeen." The single sold more than a million copies, and Ian was nominated for a then-unprecedented five Grammy awards, winning two. Aftertones proved to be one of the most critically acclaimed albums of its day, garnering Ian her first Japanese hit, "Love Is Blind", which stayed at #1 for an astonishing six months. Ian entered the '80s with the international disco hit "Fly Too High," a song featured on the soundtrack of the Jodie Foster movie Foxes. It began a successful string of projects for films (beginning with Four Rode Out in 1969, and The Bell Jar) and television (ABC Movie-of- the-Week Freedom, Murder She Wrote, The Simpsons, General Hospital, and Oz). Night Rains, the album containing "Fly Too High", also gave Ian #1 gold and platinum records in Australia, Holland, Africa, England, and a multitude of other countries. Ian was honored again by the Recording Academy in 1981 with a Best Vocal Duet nomination for her recording with Mel Torme of Ian's composition, "Silly Habits." In the early 80's, Ian took time off to study acting with Stella Adler, also studying ballet with Dora Krannig of the Royal Ballet. "They were both things that kept me involved in the arts, but gave me a break from my own work", she says now. Ian re-emerged in 1993 with Breaking Silence, which was nominated for a Grammy as Best Folk Album. Fearing the growing loss of artistic control by the major labels, she financed the album by taking a second mortgage on her home. Returning to recording with a vengeance, she released Revenge in 1995, Hunger in 1997, and God And The FBI in 2000. In 2003, Ian added author to her long list of accomplishments with the publication of her first book project, an anthology titled, Stars: Stories Based on the Lyrics of Janis Ian. Ian then released the double live CD Working Without A Net, a collection of performances she has been recording since 1990. "We started taping the shows just for archival purposes," Ian says. "but the fans have been asking for a live record for decades. For fans that live in Poland, Korea, and other places we don't tour, this is a chance to hear a live show. For fans that have seen the show, it's a chance to take back something that's pretty close to a memory of that show and recreate the feeling." Astonishingly for a live CD, the album went on to receive a four-star rating in Q Magazine. The release of her 18th studio album, Billie's Bones, is the latest achievement in Ian's remarkable career.
