Hejira - The Music of Joni Mitchell

Hejira is an outstanding 7-piece band set up to celebrate and honour the masterpiece works of Joni Mitchell..

Having released the albums ‘The Hissing of Summer Lawns’, ‘Hejira’, ‘Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter’ and ‘Mingus’, Joni toured briefly with a band formed from the crème de la crème of contemporaneous musicians (Metheny, Mays, Brecker, Pastorius and Alias). The tour was recorded, producing the much-lauded live album, ‘Shadows And Light’; it is from this album that the band Hejira draws the body of its repertoire.

Comprising highly experienced, world class musicians, Hejira is fronted by the brilliant Hattie Whitehead who not only has, in her own way, assimilated the poise, power and beauty of Joni’s vocals, but also plays guitar with Joni’s stylistic mannerisms. Expect an evening of ‘great songs from Mitchell’s back catalogue such as ‘Amelia’, ‘Woodstock’, 'A Case Of You’, ’Song For Sharon’, 'Free Man in Paris’ etc.!
