About Janis Joplin
Janis Joplin (1943–1970) was a blues-rock singer whose raw voice made her a 1960s icon. Joplin rose to fame with Big Brother and the Holding Company in San Francisco. The Grateful Dead formed in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1965 and became famous for long, improvised live shows. Some 1960s concert posters were designed so the lettering was deliberately hard to read, inviting a second look. Janis Joplin’s raw, powerful voice made her one of the defining singers of the 1960s. By the 1970s, concert promotion moved to arenas and stadiums, and posters advertised ever larger shows.
