They called it the “27 Club” — but no one ever chose to join that imaginary, grim, and highly exclusive circle.

We’re talking about a handful of great and doomed artists — Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jean Michel Basquiat, Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse — whom death snatched away from life, from their deepest affections, from success, right on the threshold of twenty-seven.

As if by way of compensation, they were granted immortal glory, just a step away from legend.

Their music remains, forever, to celebrate their memory, along with a charisma that remains out of reach for most.

Like an album waiting to be played, this concert flips through the pages of history, rediscovering the relevance and power of songs beyond time.

Forever young, eternally young — like those who made them famous…
