 GRAMMY® Award-winning songwriter Janis Ian makes a rare concert appearance when she performs in the intimate Murray Studio Theater at Ruth Eckerd Hall for two performances this Thursday and Friday at 7:30 pm.
Janis began her highly successful singing career in the 1960s and 1970s and has continued recording into the 21st century. Her most successful single was At Seventeen, released in 1972, a bittersweet commentary on adolescent cruelty and teenage angst which charted at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart. It also won the 1975 GRAMMY® Award for Best Pop Vocal Performance – Female, surpassing such stars as Linda Ronstadt, Olivia Newton-John and Helen Reddy. Janis’ most recent album, Folk Is The New Black, was released in 2006. It’s her first album in more than twenty years for which she did all the songwriting herself.
