The Janis Ian Archives Breaking Silence Celebration Weekend

I am now officially excited about this. Not only because of the private screening of the upcoming documentary about my life and work. Not only because some of my oldest and dearest friends will be there. Not only because it’s a chance to expose people to the wonderful work Berea College is doing. but because it’s a chance for me to go into a room full of the history of my family, my people, my tribes, my friends and colleagues, and enjoy it as an outsider looking in. I hope if you can’t come to this, you will be able to stop by there someday in the future. And make sure to check out the Spotify curated list. I have to admit that as a songwriter I am conflicted about using it, but as a listener I’m really glad this is available.
