Celebrated music journalist, two-time Grammy nominee, and Asheboro native Holly George-Warren will visit the Asheboro library at 7 p.m. Friday, January 17, to talk about her acclaimed new biography of Janis Joplin. Published by Simon and Schuster in October to rave reviews, "Janis: Her Life and Music" establishes the Queen of Rock & Roll as the rule-breaking musical trailblazer and gender-bending rebel that she was. George-Warren had unprecedented access to Joplin’s family, friends, bandmates, archives and long-lost interviews to create the intimate portrait. She received her second GRAMMY nomination in 2013 for penning the liner notes to Janis Joplin's The Pearl Sessions. She is the director of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum Oral History Program and serves on the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominating committee.
