Janis Ian

From 'At Seventeen' to new autobiography, Grammy Award winner returns
At 12, she wrote her first song. Before she was the age of, say, Miley Cyrus or Brittany Spears, Janis Ian was doing what today's youngsters couldn't dream of, penning songs the likes of Jesse, Stars, At Seventeen and Society's Child, at once generating controversy and garnering Grammy awards. Today, Janis has a brand-new autobiography tracing her odyssey from teen megastar through heartbreak and back to graceful triumph. Her writing soars. Did you know she performed on the very first Saturday Night Live? A fun anecdote, sure, so it's hard to imagine how she fits everything into 300 pages, just like it's hard to imagine a full-on rock show from a solo performer with one acoustic guitar. Janis does. Her guitar wizardry shimmers, thumps and bends, while her songwriting takes you on an unforgettable ride. Of course, Janis LIVE is funny and insightful, too. Of course, her book, Society's Child, will be available -- and she'll sign copies. We couldn't be more blessed to have her back.
