Newport Folk Festival
—
Fort Adams State Park
Newport,
RI
Joni surprised the crowd with an unannounced appearance.
Joni joined festival headliner Brandi Carlile as she recreated
the "Joni Jam" music gatherings, previously organized at Mitchell's
Los Angeles home. Other fellow music artists, including Wynonna Judd,
Allison Russell and Marcus Mumford, also took part in the
"Joni Jam" gathering recreation.
In her first Newport Folk Festival performance since 1969,
the ensemble serenaded Mitchell with several of her hits, including
"Circle Game" and "Big Yellow Taxi."
She eventually took the lead on "Carey" as well as played
a "meditative instrumental" piece on the guitar - her first time publicly
playing guitar since her 2015 health scare after suffering an aneurysm.
