Showcasing classic Joplin music and original songs by Sophie B. Hawkins, Room 105 brings the transformative counterculture of the 1960's to life, with realistic imagery, and riveting dramatic elements of past to present day. "Hawkins echoes the fire of Joplin herself!" affirms Aspen Times.
American singer, songwriter and musician Sophie B. Hawkins is best know for her hits "Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover," "Right Beside You," and "As I Lay Me Down." Her 1992 debut album "Tongues and Tails" earned her a Grammy nomination for "Best New Artist."
Room 105 premiered on October 4, 2013 at West Hollywood's Macha Theater - on the anniversary of Joplin's death - just blocks away from where the iconic singer had her last drink before her untimely death at age 27. The show enjoyed an extended run, and received critical acclaim. Now music and theatre fans on the East Coast can enjoy this modern-day retrospective and dynamic tribute to Janis Joplin. All are invited to Room 105 - for one night only - at the Bergen Performing Arts Center on February 23!
