Big Brother & The Holding Company with SunHunter
Though best known as Janis Joplin's backing band, Big Brother & the Holding Company was well established in San Francisco's psychedelic rock scene before Joplin ever came along. Joplin's stint with the band was a burst of musical brilliance that lasted only two years but catapulted the group into the rock & roll spotlight. A few years after Joplin's departure, Big Brother started falling apart and disbanded. Re-formed in the late 1980s, the band now tours with a revolving cast of lead vocalists. Its repertoire includes both new material and re-worked, Joplin-era favorites including "Women is Losers" and "I Need a Man to Love."
