Big Brother & The Holding Company first performed in the Haight Ashbury, San Francisco, in 1965. After their appearance at The Monterey Pop Festival in 1967, Janis Joplin quickly became a phenomenon, and Big Brother made a real contribution to Janis’ rise to international fame.

After Janis left the band in 1968, Big Brother continued to perform with a new female vocalist before disbanding in 1972. Having reformed with the original four members in 1987, they have performed worldwide and throughout the United States.
 
In 2007, Big Brother joined “The Summer of Love 40th Anniversary Tour” with Jefferson Starship, Quicksilver Messenger Service, David & Linda LaFlamme (“It’s A Beautiful Day”) and the Grateful Dead’s Tom Constanten. The next four years saw a continuation of this multi-band tour teaming up with Canned Heat and Country Joe McDonald for “The Heroes of Woodstock 40th Anniversary Tour.” This lineup performed at over 30 amphitheaters and sheds, including the original 1969 Woodstock site and Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre.
 
Big Brother carries on today with original members Peter Albin (bass) and Dave Getz (drums), with Tom Finch and David Aguilar playing outstanding guitar. The very talented Darby Gould fronts the band, singing all of the classic material made famous by Janis Joplin and Big Brother & the Holding Company.Artist Website
