About Women Who Rock You
At City Winery NYC, **Women Who Rock You** centers on Mary Bridget Davies and The Mary Bridget Davies Group, working in the rock/pop lineage that runs from classic ’60s blues-rock to contemporary stage. Davies is widely known for embodying Janis Joplin in *A Night with Janis Joplin*, a performance that earned her a Tony nomination and helped bring Joplin’s catalog into mainstream theater conversation. In New York, that bridge between club music and Broadway remains culturally specific, shaped by the city’s venues and audiences. The show treats rock history as lived material, not museum repertoire.
