Clint Holmes: “James, Joni and Me”
Celebrating the Music of James Taylor and Joni Mitchell
One of the greatest voices of our generation re-imagines the greatest hits of two of music's most influential singer-songwriters, James Taylor and Joni Mitchell. This intimate performance celebrates the enduring legacy and friendship of these iconic artists through their timeless songs. Holmes brings his interpretative mastery to classics like "Fire and Rain," “Shower the People,” “Big Yellow Taxi” and "Both Sides Now," while sharing the story of Taylor and Mitchell's 50-year friendship and artistic journey from struggling young musicians to legendary icons.
“Entertainer with a capital E.”
- Stephen Holden, New York Times
About Clint Holmes… As the strains of “My name is Michael, I’ve got a nickel…” poured out of every radio in America, Clint Holmes set off on a path to establishing himself as one of the most dynamic interpreters of song ever to grace a stage. Following the staggering success of his chart-topping hit record, “Playground in My Mind,” Clint was determined to not rest on his laurels or simply ride the wave of his gold-record stardom.
“He can croon. He can wail. His sense of time is thrilling. He can build a tempo with temple-throbbing passion, then waft his way through a ballad with dreamy intonation.”
- Rex Reed, The New York Observer
Clint spent much of the last 25 years as a headliner on the Las Vegas Strip, earning him several “Best of” awards, including “Best Male Vocalist” five years in a row in a town with no shortage of stiff competition for the title. His triumphs around the country range from the grand stages of Carnegie Hall and the Hollywood Bowl to the chic corners of legendary cabaret rooms and jazz clubs. Over his storied career, Clint has performed for 6 U.S. Presidents (and most of them, more than once.) In addition, he was Joan Rivers’ sidekick on her late night talk show, had his own Emmy-Award winning show (New York at Night) and served as music correspondent for Entertainment Tonight. More recently, his album, Rendezvous, was nominated for two Grammy Awards. Clint has been touring the country with his wildly-successful “Icons Re-Imagined” series, spotlighting his favorite singers and songwriters.
Join Clint and his star-studded band for “James, Joni and Me,” a musical experience you’ll never forget.
