Christine Martucci is pleased to announce the casting of New Jersey vocalist and recording artist CC Coletti as "Janis" in Breakfast with Janis at The Paramount Theater in Asbury Park. CC Coletti is know worldwide for her rocking duets and background vocals with rock and roll legend, Meat Loaf and his Neverland Express World Tours. Guitarist and songwriter Anthony Krizan ( CC Coletti Band, The Spin Doctors) will also be the featured guitarist in Martucci's band for Breakfast with Janis. Krizan wrote the song "Sin and Redemption" for Martucci and Breakfast with Janis.
"CC and I have a really good chemistry on stage together, she is a rocker like me and we are like minded when it comes to our music and passion..She is perfect for the role and I am excited to be sharing the stage with her. I am also excited to be performing one of Anthony Krizan's original tunes "Sin and Redemption." To be working with both these talented and seasoned professionals is a dream come true for me, and so fitting for the story line of Breakfast with Janis." - Christine Martucci
Breakfast with Janis is a semi-autobiographical story of the epic struggle of an extremely talented and wonderfully imperfect musician: Christine Martucci. We see her myriad conflicts such as depression, alcohol abuse, drugs, and loneliness...unfold at the kitchen table, with Janis Joplin, the iconic presence that influenced a generation, as her muse and conscience. Christine's efforts to overcome the many obstacles to her ultimate success are chronicled in a classic, self reflective style. Christine ponders her options, life or death. She seeks inspiration and comfort from the parallels in their lives.Christine Martucci:
