A night with a legend
Like a comet that burns far too brightly to last, Janis Joplin exploded onto the music scene in 1967 and, almost overnight, became the queen of rock & roll. The unmistakable voice, filled with raw emotion and tinged with Southern Comfort, made her a must-see headliner from Monterey to Woodstock. From Broadway to your screen, now you’re invited to share an evening with the woman and her influences in the musical, A NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN. Fueled by such unforgettable songs as “Me and Bobby McGee,” “Piece of My Heart,” “Mercedes Benz,” “Cry Baby” and “Summertime,” a remarkable cast and breakout performances, A NIGHT WITH JANIS JOPLIN, written and directed by Randy Johnson, is a musical journey celebrating Janis and her biggest musical influences—icons like Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Odetta, Nina Simone and Bessie Smith, who inspired one of rock & roll’s greatest legends.
Barracuda – The Essential Tribute To HEART & Zeppelin
Date(s): October 4th, 2025
Showtime: 7:30PM
Barracuda – The Essential Tribute to HEART, a night filled with all the hits and energy of the legendary band!
Barracuda, a tribute to Heart, first hit the stage in 2011, and rapidly became the top Heart tribute in North America. In 2012, having heard rave reviews of Barracuda, Heart’s original lead guitarist and co-writer, Roger Fisher, drove from Seattle to Vancouver with brother Michael, Heart’s original manager and sound technician, and also the subject of the song ‘Magic Man’ to see Barracuda. Roger and Michael went on record saying that Barracuda was the best Heart tribute they had ever seen, and they had seen many. Roger was so impressed with Barracuda
that he made several special guest appearances with Barracuda, on both sides of the border.
Based in Vancouver, BC, Barracuda’s DL Car covers the vocals of Ann Wilson with absolute perfection, which is not an easy task. Her precision is nothing short of breath-taking. Sourced out of Portland, Oregon is Sarah Moon, who perfectly covers the vocals and guitar of Nancy Wilson. On lead guitar, keyboards and harmony vocals is Ray Roper, formerly of recording artists Stonebolt. Multi-instrumentalist Darryl Hebert plays keyboard, electric and acoustic guitars, keytar, banjo and mandolin. Mark Kenny, also a member of Nick Gilder and Sweeney Todd, plays bass, and veteran of many Vancouver-based bands, Doug Grant plays drums. In honoring Heart’s roots and history, Barracuda includes two or three Led Zeppelin classics in their set.
Barracuda captures the sound of Heart down to the finest detail both vocally and instrumentally, and have to be seen to be believed!
