The same passion that propelled the sixties continues to drive this band.

It was forty years ago today, and the summer of 1967 in San Francisco was magic, indeed.  Out of that historic scene came Big Brother and the Holding Company featuring Janis Joplin, with a rock sound from the outer planets surrounding a fiery core of ageless blues.  Time has passed but the heat hasn’t subsided as Peter Albin, Sam Andrew, and Dave Getz welcome guitarist Chad Quist and spectacular singer Sophia Ramos for a brand new blazing of all the Big Brother favorites and some stellar new songs.

Hold Me (CD and DVD)
DIG 127

Hold Me is taken from an inspired appearance before an adoring audience at the Burg Herzberg Festival in Germany.  The recording quality is superb and the group’s fervor was caught with six cameras!  The original band members’ joy at playing this concert is reinforced by knowing they found an amazing performer to handle the legendary Janis Joplin vocals.  Sophia Ramos has grit, soul and charisma to spare as she charges through the Big Brother classics: Piece of My Heart, Ball and Chain, Women is Losers.  Summertime has never been sung better.
