Mary Bridget Davies
TONY Nominee for her role as Janis Joplin in "A Night with Janis Joplin" The band members are clearly collaborators and work very well together. Henley, R. Ms. B.
"The majority of the songs on Mary Bridget Davies' debut blues release Wanna Feel Somethin’, are originals written by herself combined with arrangement and lyrical skills of her whole band. Davies provides both music lovers and the industry with well written, meaningful and soulfully executed songs. All of Davies originals on this album are familiar, yet new, beginning with 'Your Kinda Love' (Gary
Another thing I love about Cleveland and our vibe/outlook on life is to work hard, love fiercely and bring joy to others through art and philanthropy of many sorts. P***y Malley flew home from the Peace Corps in Jamaica and his first order of business was to come to my MATINEE of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Not to mention, Eric Sosinski sent me a message months earlier when casting was announced about how much he and his Mom loved this show and that he would be there and ACTUALLY came! These are some of the heaviest hitters coming to see lil' old me. 😎
There is a TON of talented, lovely and supportive people in the CLE and I'm proud to be part of the community. ❤️🎶🎭💪🔥
If only my hair did this in real life lol. She is growing on me! Last show before Christmas! I have had such a blast! ❤️🎶🎭🎄
When the post-show pin curls are pin-curlin'!
We are officially SOLD OUT for the rest of the run of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat at Beck Center!!! ❤️🎶🎭
Sunday night wrap of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I am SO PROUD to be home and making art with the next wave of Cleveland's best and brightest artists. So many friends and actual educators of mine have come to the show and I was more excited to see them and hear their reactions. I have lived on the world's stage but I wouldn't have made it there without their guidance and support. Being able to be HOME and perform is beyond the dream. When people say "don't forget where you came from?" NEVER. I am a proud, loud child who was bred out of the Cleveland theater AND live music scene. "When I think of home, I think of a place where there's love overflowing" - MBD❤️🎶🎭
Thanks Laura Kennelly for this wonderful review 🙏

Today was the day back in 1970 that Janis Lyn Joplin returned to the ether to join the other souls that were more bright, more loud and far more Technicolor than our little planet could contain.
Working on what would become her best selling album, Pearl, Janis and the some band mates stopped for drinks at Barney's Beanery a few hours before midnight October 3rd for a little post studio session revelry. As the guys peeled off one by one, as they so often did, Janis found herself alone and headed back to The Landmark Hotel where she had been staying while in town to record. It always struck me so sad that someone who was shaping the face of rock and roll and was revered by so many was often alone at the end of the night. For whatever reason her "friends" didn't make the trip to see her that night and she was once again alone.
I was lucky enough to sing for Big Brother & the Holding Co. on many tours and become friends with the guys. Peter Albin, Dave Getz, Sam Andrew and I would wind up in deep talks about all things music, language, society and Janis. I've included an excerpt form one of Sam's pieces on her. It shows you just a glimpse of what it was like to be her then and truly what it has been like to be "me" as a musician over the years. I've never met her but I can see the sparkle in her eye as she delivered that "Glamorous, isnt it?" line in her Mae West inspired "Pearl" lilt.
I don't believe her death was intentional. Apparently she was given a hot dose and many others died that weekend. She just happened to be the only rockstar in the bunch. She was a baby. 27 years old with that much power, influence and responsibility LONG before the days where 7 year old children become monetized youtube sensations overnight.
She was winging it and WHAT A RIDE. Today is always a somber day for me personally because it's the "what if" that will drive you crazy. What if she didn't die? Where would she go musically next? Would she be the "Mama" of the entire Southern Rock music movement? Would she have collaborated with Plant? Would she return to Texas and take over at Threadgill's or be the matriarch of Antone's and settle for a quieter life in her older years? Would she still be touring? Would she have had kids?
Would she have liked me if I ever got to meet her?
Heavy is the head that wears the crown and I will always bow to my Queen of Rock and Roll, Janis Lyn Joplin.
