Lauren and The Good Souls came together initially, in tribute to the amazingly talented Joni Mitchell 9 years ago, and have been doing this tribute every year since. This is their second year at the Bristol Valley Theater, and they are thrilled to be returning to this historic and beautiful venue. Every band member is a multi-instrumentalist, making their ability to cover Joni’s expansive repertoire a reality. If you know Mitchell’s music, you know the complexity, beauty, depth and evolution of her songwriting. From the intimate acoustic moments, horn section swells, tight harmonies and orchestral arrangements, this band can cover it all. The band’s love and admiration for Joni’s music, and for each other, will captivate and engage the audience, making an evening that is truly something special. Our featured musical guest is Sue Tierney, founder and contributor to jonimitchell.com guitar and piano transcriptions. Live painting on stage with Cindy Harris. More information here
