We were all very impressed when JK Jones did a few Joni Mitchell songs at our Songwriters of Canada show recently, so we invited her to come do a full tribute show. JK will be covering songs from Joni’s Song to a Seagull, Blue, Court and Spark, Hejira, Clouds and For the Roses. This rare event will feature acclaimed song-writer Jay Asher on piano for Joni's "Blue Boy".

"JK Jones is a rare artist in today’s music world who honors her influences, not through imitation, but through the musical creation of a transcendent pathway that reaches into soul of the song and delivers into the present. Her tribute to Joni Mitchell is vibrant, passionate, and magical in its depth, dimension and the beauty she helps us rediscover in one of our most enigmatic and legendary artists. Her original songs bring alive the passing of the artistic fire she holds holy and obviously loves." -Terry Paul Rowland

On her 80th birthday, Roundhouse and Lail Arad announce a celebration of Joni Mitchell; one of the most highly regarded and influential singer-songwriters of the 20th century as part of In The Round Festival. One of the first women in modern rock to achieve enviable longevity and critical recognition, Mitchell has been a major inspiration to music's biggest names including Bob Dylan, Prince, Donna Summers, Bjork, James Blake and Lana Del Rey.

Frequently confessional, sometimes obscure, always literate and musically adventurous, she has created one of the most striking bodies of work in the popular music of the last 6 decades.

Hosted by Cerys Matthews, a stellar line up of artists join us for this special intimate evening of stripped back performances set on the circular In The Round stage. Covering some of Joni's best work are Emeli Sandé, Vashti Bunyan, Lail Arad, Sam Amidon, Kate Stables (This Is The Kit) and Eska. More information here
