Going strong for 17 years now, Ball & Chain is known not only as the only Janis Joplin Tribute Act in the Midwest, but also one of the hardest working & most entertaining Classic Rock bands playing Fests, Clubs, Events & Bars throughout the North East Ohio area.
Throughout Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Indiana, many people have been witness to the emotional reenactment of the songs of Janis Joplin by front woman “Lil Miss Loud” - Geri Rose Ciacchi. The raunchy blues, the lamenting ballads, the love songs, the hits, and the music that was, and still is, Janis Joplin. It will become one of the most powerful performances you will experience.
Formed by seasoned musicians including the guitar insanity of Cleveland's own Mike Beeble, the intuitive playing style of drummer Scott Dall and the "Godfather" of Lorain County musicians D.C. Carnes on Bass.
We are veteran performers, who know how to please a crowd of any size and we offer several options to choose from.
The Janis Joplin Concert Experience, is a full costumed show, of up to 2-3 hours of Janis Joplin! This is a powerful concert show! Also a great way to addition to any Festival or to promote charities, fund raisers, or big event! You can have this option with an opener or not. Don't get "Down On Me", just "Get It While You Can' and have a "Piece of My Heart" and hers, and book the band that will make your event ROCK!
We also offer what we call the Classic Rock N Roll Show providing up to 4 hours of non stop great classic rock, blues favorites and then some. Everything from Jimi Hendrix to Fleetwood Mac. Perfect for your Club, Bar, Event, Private Party, Weddings and more.
We have a 2 - Piece Act called Un-Chained that performs up to 4 hours of classic rock blues, & more for your more casual, dinner time, winery, beer tasting, or intimate settings.
Then we combine forces and provide the Forever 27 Show with the options of an amazing Doors or Jimi Hendrix Tribute, along with Janis Joplin! All this with the option of a Robert Johnson & the Crossroads Blues solo introduction as an opener or not. You can choose your acts or do all 3 or 4! This is a mini festival unto itself, reliving the Summer of Love and some of the most powerful influences of their era, all gone too soon, but will remain 27 in our hearts forever. Reminding us that music transcends time and where it all comes from: ‘Blues is the Root - All else is the Fruit!’
*Please note: Janis Joplin was a passionate performer & some of the live Janis show videos are quoted/re-enacted as she historically performed them. These shows were performed with mature audiences and these videos have not been censored. Our entertainers do NOT use profanity unless previously cleared and or requested by booking management for each individual show.
