We simply could not be more excited to work with Janie and her team to take the Jimi Hendrix® brand to a new level.”
“With the release of Both Sides of the Sky by Sony Legacy, and the approaching 50th anniversaries of the release of the seminal LP Electric Ladyland (Oct ’68), his legendary performance at the Woodstock Festival (Aug ’69), and the legendary two-day, four show concerts set by his later group, Band of Gypsys (Dec ’69), we have great milestone moments to drive our new retail program,” added Furano and Perry.
