Media release: Karise Eden brings sold out concert, Tell Mama! to Western Australia
Announcement posted by Jameson & Co 10 Jul 2026
Freo Social (Thur, Oct 1) | Kalamunda PAC (Fri, Oct 2) | Prince Hotel Bunbury (Sat, Oct 3)
Following two sold-out premiere performances in Melbourne, ARIA Award winner Karise Eden begins the national rollout of Tell Mama! - Janis Joplin by Karise Eden, with three Western Australian dates this October.
Presented by RoadTales, this powerful new concert experience will head to Freo Social (October 1), Kalamunda Theatre (October 2) and the Prince Hotel Bunbury (October 3), with tickets for all Western Australian performances to go on sale Friday July 10 at 8.00am AWST.
Since helping redefine rock more than half a century ago, Janis Joplin has never stopped finding new audiences. In Tell Mama!, Karise Eden revives the songs, spirit and extraordinary legacy of one of rock's most unforgettable voices in a powerful live concert experience.
Rather than an impersonation, Tell Mama! is Karise's deeply personal interpretation of the artist whose music has shaped her own journey. With storytelling woven throughout, the show begins with an intimate acoustic set inspired by Janis's early folk-blues recordings before building into a full-band celebration featuring guitar, bass, drums, keys and a three-piece horn section.
Audiences can expect iconic anthems including Piece of My Heart, Cry Baby, Move Over, Try (Just a Little Bit Harder) and Me and Bobby McGee, alongside lesser-known gems that reveal Janis's remarkable artistry. The show also features Karise's original song, Tomorrow, inspired by Janis's Kozmic Blues, creating a moving bridge between two artists united by fearless emotional honesty.
"I never wanted this to feel like a traditional Janis Joplin tribute," says Eden.
"I wanted people to feel Janis's influence throughout the show while still very clearly seeing me inside it too. It's not costume or impersonation. It's about honouring the emotional honesty and fearless spirit that drew me to her music in the first place."
Following its sold-out premiere performance at Memo Music Hall and currently with just a few tickets left at Karralyka Theatre, Tell Mama! now begins its national rollout in Western Australia, introducing audiences to a concert that celebrates the enduring influence of one of music's most iconic artists through the unmistakable voice of Karise Eden.
