This will be our second Joni Mitchel Celebration Concert, honoring her joy and sadness and music genius!
I can’t remember where I heard the quote, ”When it’s all said and done, Joni Mitchell will go down in history as the greatest songwriter to have ever lived.”, but I do remember thinking, wow, they are so right. Joni's music is as complex as her poetic lyrics are heart piercing. She is visionary, and exploring her endless catalogue of music is an adventure I feel privileged to be on.
She is an example for us all - true to herself and continuing to create, still.
I will b performing with pianist Nelda Swiggett & bassist Rick White, sharing again some of Joni's most beloved tunes form last year's sold out show and a whole list of new ones!
Better get your reservations in early!
We dedicate this year's concert to the lte and beloved Jeremy Bacon who left us just weeks after last year's concert. I know his spirit will be with us. He so loved her music.
