GLOW is a light art festival which is organised by the GLOW Eindhoven foundation. GLOW can be described as an exhibition in the public space of Eindhoven of 35 famous national and international light artists. The light artworks are connected by a walking route.

Besides the light artworks and numerous side events there are also innovative, unique works of art that are created by young talents.

The year's theme is called 'Shadows & Light'. "Every picture has its shadows. And it has some source of light. Blindness, blindness and sight". (Joni Mitchell)

No light without shadows, no image without content. With this year’s theme GLOW 2018 searches for this duality. Effectively, it’s not only about the ultimate contrast between black and white, but also about much and little, inside and outside, restraint and abundance...light and shadow. Within the contradiction, the story is born; there’s no experience without contrast. ‘Shadows’ and ‘Light’ lacking, we would find ourselves in a grey landscape in which life evaporates.

Joni's Soul perform in celebration of Joni's birthday (only a little belatedly!) at this historic Chelsea venue, welcoming long-time Nina Simone drummer and Joniphile Paul Robinson to their ranks. The band started as a collaboration between "from-the-heart" soul singer Gina Foster and former Van Morrison guitarist Ronnie Johnson, enlisting some of UK's very finest players with a shared love for an artist they consider to be one of the greatest singer/songwriters and guitar innovators of the last half century.

Coyote, Hejira, Edith and the Kingpin, The Hissing of Summer Lawns, A Case of You, Trouble Child, Help Me and Gina’s gorgeous version of Both Sides Now - it’s through songs like these that the band explore the unique songwriting and gift of performance Joni Mitchell revealed in her iconic albums Blue, Court and Spark, Hejira, The Hissing of Summer Lawns and beyond …

Drawing on their own emotional response to these songs Joni’s Soul have looked beyond merely the faithful reproduction of the Joni Mitchell songbook to shine a light on the most soulful aspects of her words and music. The band's recently released cd 'Shades Of Joni' passionately illustrates their well-defined and warm interpretations of some of the finest songwriting and performance of the twentieth century.

Gina Foster (vocals), Ronnie Johnson and Patrick Johnson (guitars), Ross Stanley (keyboards), Steve Pearce (bass), Paul Robinson (drums). More information here.

Three days before this event, Joni Mitchell will be 75 years old. Composer, pianist and Mitchell fan Reinout Douma sees that as a great opportunity to honor her with his North Pole Orchestra. He arranged her most beautiful songs for orchestra and also invited four young musicians: jazz singer Zara McFarlane from London, saxophone virtuoso Ben van Gelder, upcoming singer Anna Serierse and guitar miracle Jorrit Westerhof.

When the counter-culture blossomed in the late 1960s, Joni Mitchell’s poetic tales of free men in Paris, buskers who played for free, and love — lost and found — raised the bar for folk music fans everywhere. In time, she would meld rock, jazz and world music into a sophisticated style that captured the world’s attention and several Grammy wins. Joni Mitchell was the soundtrack for a generation.

Now singer Kimberly Ford has created "A Celebration of Joni Mitchell," a group of World Class musicians with a shared passion for Joni's music. The band includes George Friedenthal on keys; Lee Rollag on guitar; Tom Buckner on saxophone; Tom Etchart on bass, and Charles Levin on drums. They perform songs from every decade of Joni's career.

Kimberly and the band perform beautifully nuanced versions of Joni's quintessential classics, without resorting to Tribute Band-style mimicry... A true "celebration" of Mitchell's artistry. Ford has been a fan since her coming-of-age years, where she learned to sing using Mitchell’s soul-baring, 1971 “Blue” album as a primer. “Her poetry and melodies spoke to my experiences before I even had a language for them."

An extraordinary collection of photographs of the legendary Joni Mitchell, captured by celebrated rock-and-roll photographer Norman Seeff.

Joni: The Joni Mitchell Sessions is the ultimate celebration of a visionary musician and the artist who captured her spirit on film. It is a creative partnership that has lasted for over 40 years. Joni Mitchell, the artist behind celebrated hits "Help Me" and "Big Yellow Taxi," and Norman Seeff, a rock-and-roll photographer with a host of legendary subjects in his portfolio, did some of their best work together. Joni was a truly authentic subject, able to surrender herself to the art and express herself freely within his lens. Through over a dozen sessions across more than a decade together, the photographer captured the many facets of her personality in some of her most famous images. Joni: The Joni Mitchell Sessions is the culmination of their partnership. Timed to release on Joni's 75th birthday, this collection of familiar and rare imagery tracks the pair's history together through these exclusive moments captured on film. A combination of album artwork and candid shots reveals Joni's personality in ways few have managed to capture before or since. Featuring commentary from Seeff on the enlightenment into his art that he gained from their sessions, this compilation is a true reflection on mutual creativity between artist and muse.

Jazz singer Kimberly Ford and saxophonist Kim Richmond will combine to capture the real life bond between two great artists, Joni Mitchell and Herbie Hancock, in a concert to be presented at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 10, at the Park Center in Hayward.

Admission is $20 in advance, $25 at the door. Students 18 and under are admitted for $5. Advance tickets are available at Art Beat in downtown Hayward (cash or check only) or may be purchased at here.

To mark the 40th anniversary of Joni Mitchell’s seminal album 'Hejira', Sorana Santos recreated the 4200-mile round-trip from Portland, Maine, to LA, on which 'Hejira' was written. “I couldn’t sing the songs authentically”, says Sorana, “and realised the only way into the album was to do the trip, solo, like she did.” Alongside presenting a reinterpretation of 'Hejira' as a collage using the Great American Songbook, postmodern composers Adams and Cage, and hints of London and Seattle’s Free Improv and Grunge scenes, Sorana also performs original songs she wrote while travelling across the US, composing songs from astrophysics formulae in response to Mitchell’s metaphysical musings.

In a program first presented under the auspices of Jazz at Lincoln Center, the 1960s are explored through the work of three prolific artists: Joni Mitchell, Abbey Lincoln, and Nina Simone—all of whom have made an indelible mark in music with their unique expressions of freedom. Mitchell composed and sang about the freedom of love, Lincoln expressed freedom of her individuality and race through her lyricism, and Simone demanded freedom politically through song.

To deliver this vast repertoire, Grammy Award-winning drummer and music director Ulysses Owens, Jr. leads three vocalists: Theo Bleckmann, a Grammy–nominated jazz singer of eclectic tastes and prodigious gifts; Alicia Olatuja, “a singer with a strong and luscious tone" (New York Times); and Joanna Majoko, a naturally gifted and multicultural artist born to German and Zimbabwean parents.

Inspired by David Yaffe’s passionate, brilliant biography, Lauren Fox, in chronological order, and sung in their original keys, takes a journey through Joni Mitchell’s songwriting. From early folk to folk-rock, to jazz and pop music, Joni continually evolved and pushed the envelope, defying critics and fans, who wanted her to stay the lithe and lovely, gentle folk faerie that they fell in love with in the 60’s. A true pioneer, blazing a trail for women in music for decades to come, by never compromising her artistry. Lauren will be joined by longtime collaborator and friend, Peter Calo, on guitar and dulcimer.

Lauren’s three solo shows, “Love, Lust, Fear & Freedom: The Songs Of Joni Mitchell & Leonard Cohen,” “Canyon Folkies: Over the Hills & Under the Covers,” and “Groupies: The Muses Behind the Legends of Rock & Roll” have received critical acclaim from, among others, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.

Lauren has performed at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Rose Theater, Carnegie Hall, The Town Hall, Subculture NYC, The Crazy Coqs (London), Joe’s Pub, 54 Below, The Center @ The Washington Center for the Performing Arts, The Kate @ Katherine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, The Pollack Theater @ Monmouth Center for the Arts,The Bankhead Theater at Livermore Valley Performing Arts Center, and various other performing arts centers and colleges around the country.

Most recently, Lauren had the honor of singing Joni Mitchell’s songs at the book release for David Yaffe’s new, definitive biography, “Reckless Daughter,” as David read excerpts from his book. That evening was the inspiration for this new show about Joni’s evolving artistry. More information here

There are few voices in the Centre County scene that sing as sweetly as the two voices at the heart of Pure Cane Sugar.

At Elk Creek Cafe + Aleworks on Sunday, those voices will take on one of music’s most iconic voices: Joni Mitchell.

“We’ve been playing the weekend after Thanksgiving since 2009 at Elk Creek,” singer and guitarist Kate Twoey said. “Last year we decided to do something special for it, so we did a tribute to country legends, and this year Bob (Hart, Pure Cane Sugar bassist) had the idea to do Joni Mitchell, which really was scary and exciting all at the same time.” More information

This loving tribute concert is dedicated to showcasing some of Joni’s greatest compositions, especially from her first decade of recordings.

The ambitious undertaking of this multi-generational group of iconic Gainesville musicians features songs from Mitchell's first decade of recordings, including Song to a Seagull, Clouds, Ladies of the Canyon, Blue, For the Roses, Court and Spark, and Hejira. Of course, it takes four "Joni's" to do this, and they are Cathy DeWitt, Samara Crutchfield, and Janet and Maggie Rucker. The band includes David Beede, dulcimer, Richard Bassil, bass; Brad Bangstad, keyboard; Michael Derry, guitar; and Rob Rothschild, drums.

‘Riverboat Coffee House: The Yorkville Scene’ will be presented at the Young Centre for the Performing Arts, Toronto.

The show is about Canadian singer-songwriters Gordon Lightfoot, Ian and Sylvia, Murray McLauchlan, Joni Mitchell, and Neil Young. These singers launched their music in the basement of a Victorian row house, the Riverboat Coffee House, in 1968. Through this show they reminisce the time when the place was the ‘it’ place to be at and how celebrating music was their common goal. The group consists of multi-disciplinary artists. Mike Ross will music-direct the group. Together they will present the stories and songs that made Yorkville famous during 60s.

There were many articles written around 1968 that highlighted the emergence of Joni Mitchell at the Riverboat. It was a tight coffeehouse that was located below street level at 134 Yorkville Avenue. The place was supposed to be the focal point of the Toronto folk-music and counter-culture scene. Those were the modest days when songs were about the innocence and optimism that is rare these days. The club or the coffee house had red booths, pine walls, and brass portholes. It witnessed the historic performances of artists like Gordon Lightfoot, Odetta, Kris Kristofferson and Neil Young. Before the house was shut, the last performance was that of Murray McLauchlan. He was a singer-songwriter. The innocence and optimism of the 1960s almost died with the closing of the Riverboat.

The artists will perform from October 6-14, 2017, at Young Centre for the Performing Arts, 50 Tank House Lane, Distillery Historic District, Toronto, Ontario M5A 3C4. More info.

To begin with she was only accompanied by the marvellous Tom O’ Halloran. What a virtuoso keyboard artist. His work is thrilling.’ Claire Condry, Australian Stage, June 2015 From classic tunes such as ‘River’ and ‘Big Yellow Taxi’, the perennial favourite ‘Both sides now, through to the quirky ‘Dry Cleaner from Des Moines’ there is something for every Joni fan, or in fact, any fan of popular music.

As she says "It's not easy to pick a set-list from such a prolific artist, with so many great songs to choose from. But so far our interpretations, with emphasis on the heart and soul, have been going down a storm! From “Hejira” to “Both Sides Now”, “Hissing of Summer Lawns”, “Coyote”, “Carey” and “Edith and the Kingpin”, it's a pleasure to hear these great songs played live and a special pleasure to perform them." And she has put together a terrific band to help accomplish that task, with Graham Harvey on piano and keyboards, Ronnie Johnson along with son Patrick Johnson on guitars, Laurence Cottle on bass and Ian Thomas on drums.

The Firehall Arts Centre is proud to produce and present the world premiere of Circle Game: Reimagining the Music of Joni Mitchell from Saturday, April 29 to Saturday, May 20, 2017.

The enduring music of Canadian icon and renowned singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell is reimagined in this energetic musical experience. Conceived and directed by two of Vancouver's own theatrical powerhouses, AnDrew Cohen and Anna Kuman, Circle Game features six quadruple-threat talents including Erik Gow (Pride and Prejudice), Scott Perrie (Godspell), Adriana Ravalli (Rock of Ages), Kimmy Choi Rowland (Avenue Q), Sara Vickruck (Love Bomb), and David Z. Cohen (Heathers: The Musical). Together, they play eighteen instruments, creating modern variations on themes by Joni Mitchell.

One of the most influential female recording artists of the late 20th century, Joni Mitchell has often reflected on social and environmental ideals through her music. Millennial culture celebrates the repurposed and the upcycleD. Mitchell's music stands the test of time and once again she is the voice of a generation. The heartbreak of a failed love affair in "River", the fear of imminent ecological disaster in "Big Yellow Taxi", and the promise of a generation gathering to 'get back to the garden' in "Woodstock" are topics that resound as heavily today as they did fifty years ago.

Donna Spencer, Artistic Producer at the Firehall Arts Centre states, "As I look back on the powerful impact Joni Mitchell's songs had on the Baby Boomer generation, I am excited the Firehall will premiere this reimagining of her music in this production conceived and created by Millennials AnDrew Cohen and Anna Kuman. Issues that Mitchell sang about in the '60s and '70s are unfortunately still relevant today. Audiences will not only be reminded of this, but given the opportunity to enjoy her beautiful poetic lyrics and masterful melodies."

THE music which inspires us and drives our passions in our youth often sticks with us for life, and what better way to pay tribute to a musical hero than an homage in theatre?

Delia Olam discovered the music of Joni Mitchell as a 14 year old, and the folk legend’s music was clearly the soundtrack of her formative years, now infused with nostalgia and burnished by frequent use over the years.

Her play is a celebration of Mitchell’s life and music, told sometimes from Mitchell’s perspective, sometimes through narratives examining the parallels in Olam’s own life, and vitally, in song.

The defining sentiment is gratitude and love for the legacy of Mitchell’s vast songbook, and Olam’s warmth and genuine passion for her topic provide for an engaging experience for Mitchell fans and novices alike. More info.

Für diejenigen, die Mitchell kennen, ist klar, dass dies ein besonderer Abend wird, denn es gibt nur wenige Musiker, die sich an ihre Songs heranwagen.

Jedoch wird Joni Mitchell selbst wohl nicht mehr auftreten können, nachdem sie im Frühjahr an einem Aneurysma erkrankte. More information.

As a young singer, studies with the great Nancy King in the prestigious jazz vocal program at Mt. Hood Community College in Portland stoked a fire for improvisation, and regular appearances with iconic singer Mark Murphy at his weekly gigs in Tiburon thrust Antonioli into the scene as a working professional. Since her first tour of Europe with saxophonist Pony Poindexter, she has established herself as a consummate interpreter of standards and American popular song, working with Bobby McFerrin, pianists George Cables and Richie Beirach as well as an extended relationship with tenor sax legend Joe Henderson, with whom she performed for two decades until his death in 2001. An experienced educator as well as performer, Antonioli is currently the head of the jazz vocal program at Berkeley’s California Jazz Conservatory.

Tickets: £10

Gina Foster, who is probably best known for her work with the iconic group “Swing Out Sister”, is a truly gifted and impressive singer. Perhaps most familiar to those at the Club for her shows here with her friend Beverley Skeete (Rhythm Kings), Gina is renowned as one of the most soulful session vocalists around and has worked prolifically in jazz, soul, groove, pop and dance music with high profile artists including Eric Clapton, Sinead O’Connor and many more. Tonight Gina will be returning to the 606 with her band for an encore performance of “Joni’s Soul”, her acclaimed programme celebrating the life and music of iconic singer/songwriter Joni Mitchell. As she says "It's not easy to pick a set-list from such a prolific artist, with so many great songs to choose from. But so far our interpretations, with emphasis on the heart and soul, have been going down a storm! From “Hejira” to “Both Sides Now”, “Hissing of Summer Lawns”, “Coyote”, “Carey” and “Edith and the Kingpin”, it's a pleasure to hear these great songs played live and a special pleasure to perform them." And she has put together a terrific band to help accomplish that task, with Graham Harvey on piano and keyboards, Ronnie Johnson along with son Patrick Johnson on guitars, Steve Pearce on bass and Ian Thomas on drums. This promises to be a very special night indeed. Booking recommended.

Many New York cabaret performers have tackled the songbook of the iconic Joni Mitchell, but few have put the kind of transformative twist on it the way Remy Block did when she performed On a Lonely Road: Travelin' with Joni between 2014-2015 at Don't Tell Mama and The Duplex. Block's tribute to the legendary pop singer/songwriter was a personal exploration of a young woman's life as a seeker, a lover, and an artist, with Mitchell's tunes serving as the "sacred text and rough guide" for her journey.

Now, Remy Block is bringing a revised version of On a Lonely Road: Travelin' with Joni to PANGEA (178 2nd Avenue, between 11th and 12th Streets) on December 8 at 7 pm. Tickets are $20 online and $25 at the door (cash only) with a $20 food/drink minimum. For reservations, go here.

From the very first time in 1968 she heard “Michael from Mountains” and “Night in the City” from Joni’s first album, “Song to a Seagull,” classic song stylist Kiki Ebsen, then not even a teenager, was so enchanted by the music of Joni Mitchell that she quietly determined she would grow up to become a singer/songwriter, who poured her heart and soul into her own compositions, just like Joni did.

With each subsequent release including “Clouds,” “Ladies of the Canyon,” and onto “Blue,” Kiki discovered the magic of Joni Mitchell’s brilliant lyrics, amazing arrangements, and solid song stylings. Every new album meant a closer look into Mitchell’s deepest core. Ultimately, in 2016, Ebsen created The Joni Mitchell ProjectTM” as an opportunity for Joni-inspired professional musicians to join her in declaring “our respect, regard, and unending appreciation for her gifts.” Concert repertoire includes selections from nine of Mitchell’s albums, from “Song to a Seagull” through “Wild Things Run Fast” (1968–1976).

Says Ebsen, “Joni Mitchell is a brave and fearless explorer of the heart and soul. Her music continues to inspire others. My lifelong appreciation of her creative gifts and performing talents was the impetus for creating my Joni Mitchell ProjectTM.”

On Friday, September 23, at 8 pm, at Vitello’s Upstairs in North Hollywood, California. Four premiere musicians join Kiki (vocals, guitar, piano) for this performance: Grant Geissman (guitar), Terry Wollman (guitar), Steven Lawrence (bass), and Matt Starr (drums). More info here.

EMILY GROVE - BOTH SIDES NOW celebrates and brings to life the rich and diverse music of the great JONI MITCHELL in a way that only Emily Grove and her uniquely talented musical friends can. Joni’s body of work spans genres from folk to rock to pop to jazz, and she has gained respect and influenced fellow artists in all of them. Exploring albums like Blue, Ladies of the Canyon, Hejira, Mingus and more, some of Asbury Park’s favorite young musicians (including guest vocalists) will joyfully be presenting this challenging material.

EMILY GROVE, a singer-songwriter in her own right, has won several Asbury Music Awards, and has toured throughout the US, the UK and Europe. Having attended Berklee College of Music, she has a true appreciation of Joni’s jazz explorations as well as her folk classics. She has been performing JONI MITCHELL songs since she was 15: at Glen Burtnik’s “Summer of Love” concert, at the “One Last Waltz” show at the Pollack Theater , and as a busker on the Asbury Park boardwalk (as Joni once busked in Toronto).

“Listen for the little magical nuances in her delivery...just like everything about Grove, there is something of a throwback to her quality, an old grain, an antique lily lace, but with an equal measure of something new and young and fresh.” Steve Rogers, Driving Jersey.

From its opening line ‘I am on a lonely road and I am travelling’ to the introspection of the ‘Dark cafe days’ of its closing moments, Joni Mitchell’s 1971 classic album, Blue, almost single-handedly defined the confessional singer-songwriter genre.

The Perri and Neil Quartet is based on an original song-writing collaboration, between vocalist Perri Alleyne-Hughes and virtuoso classical guitarist and composer, Neil Campbell who create a very personal music of atmosphere and poise. Roger Gardiner, an amazingly versatile bassist and the superb Viktor Nordberg on drums, complete the quartet. The four musicians between them bring together an array of influences which include jazz, folk, progressive rock, classical music, free improvisation, soul and singer-songwriter music.

For The Blue Project, the Perri and Neil Quartet perform the complete Blue album in sequence, with a truly sensitive interpretation that draws on these influences. More information here

Few artists can rightly be called “icons” of their time and genre. Joni Mitchell is undoubtedly one of them. Her innovative and original music is woven into the very fabric of 20th century American culture. Much more than an entertainer, Mitchell became a treasured voice for millions of fans around the world.

Issa Forrest and Sweet Bird capture the magic and unique sound that so many have come to love through the decades. The band faithfully renders many of Joni’s songs, while lovingly reimagining others. This gifted group of musicians truly lives up to the challenge implied in the phrase, “tribute band.” Not content to simply “cover” Mitchell’s life work, the group delivers the essence of the music and delights audiences with cherished memories.

This show amounts to an evening of time travel through Mitchell’s own musical journey — from the light and frolicking “Chelsea Morning” to the grounded and contemplative sound of “Sweet Bird.”

Sweet Bird's musicians are Lia Davis (piano, accordion, keyboards), Eric Moon (pedal steel guitar), Alan Wartes (guitar), Charlie Mertens (bass), Daren Hahn (drums), Monika Vischer (vocals & flute), Charlotte Braud-Kern (vocals), & Jackie Farrell (vocals).

Nels Cline and Julian Lage: Wilco sideman, electric guitar pioneer, and prodigious composer, Cline has proved himself capable of almost anything on the guitar over a 40 year career. Julian Lage will appear with Cline.

Dave Douglas w/ Camila Meza: One of the most influential composers and jazz musicians of the past 20 years, Dave released a CD of Joni Mitchell songs in 1997 entitled Moving Portraits. He will be joined by singer Heather Masse of the Wailin' Jennys, and bright, new talent Camila Meza on voice and guitar. Meza was described by the NY Times as "a multi-dimensional talent....who plays hyper-literate guitar solos while combing modern jazz with the folk music of her native Chile."

Wolfgang Muthspiel: Noted for the lyricism of his approach to jazz guitar, Vienna native Muthspiel is one of the most celebrated European improvisers. He has recorded with Ralph Towner and Brian Blade, and he began his career in Gary Burton’s band, where he replaced Pat Metheny.

Sheryl Bailey: Called a "sizzling guitar goddess" by All About Jazz, and "one of the new greats" by Downbeat, Bailey is one of the most compelling bebop players of her generation. She'll perform with bassist Harvie S.

Steve Cardenas Trio: A member of Carla Bley's band and one of the world's most esteemed jazz guitarists

Joel Harrison: The Guitar Summit founder will front a group that features drummer Allison Miller, singer Everett bradley, and bassist Jerome Harris.

Mike Baggetta: Composer/ guitarist Baggeta's playing has been called "beautifully melodic" and "mysteriously atmospheric" on cd's where he combines strong writing with powerful avant-jazz/rock proficiency. He'll play in a trio with the renegade drummer Bill Mintz and bassist Jerome Harris.

Ben Monder will be joined by vocalist Becca Stevens.

Singer/songwriter and mentor to Sam Smith Joanna Eden celebrates the music of her hero Joni Mitchell. With heartfelt reflections on the life of a songwriting pioneer and how they’ve inspired her own songs, Eden is joined by acclaimed pianist Chris Ingham and rising star of bass and guitar Lewis Andrews.Joni is perhaps the most beloved songwriter of all musicians so expect to see players in their element! Joanna has been a singing teacher for 12 years since the parents of her first student begged her to start. That student was Sam Smith, now an international star and highest selling debut artist in the US since records began. She began teaching Sam when he was just ten years old, coached him throughout his childhood and introduced him to songwriting, co-writing and producing his first demo tracks. She is a vocal coach for the popular music and performing arts degree courses at Anglia Ruskin University and hosts her popular ‘Singer to Artist’ workshops all over the UK. More info

Five local performers will present a concert featuring the music of Joni Mitchell at 8pm at the Blue Door, 2805 N McKinley.

Shelly Phelps, Peggy Johnson and Sunshine Hahn will join Louise Goldberg and Mary Reynolds of Miss Brown to You to showcase the unique accomplishments of the iconic and much-loved singer-songwriter.

"All five of us have been inspired by Mitchell’s work for decades. When we presented this concept last year, we learned that people are really hungry to hear this music performed live," said Reynolds in a news release. "People have asked me all year long when we were going to do it again. When I asked Blue Door impresario Greg Johnson if he wanted to host this concert, he barely let me finish asking before saying emphatically ‘Yes!’"

Phelps released the CD "Beautiful and Burdened" with her band, The Scarlet Street Players, in 2015 to enthusiastic reviews. Scarlet Street Player Rob Vollmar will lend his guitar skills to tribute show.

Johnson has played her songs and told her stories since 1984 on many stages in the Oklahoma City area, including the Woody Guthrie Festival in Okemah.

Hahn recently returned to Oklahoma City, bringing her original music and blues-inspired interpretations back to local stages.

Goldberg and Reynolds of Miss Brown to You have performed extensively in clubs, concerts and theater productions in the area. Miss Brown to You released its third album, "Roll Away" in 2015 to local acclaim and national college radio airplay.

The night’s first set will be selections from all over the different periods of Mitchell’s long career, while the second set will be a round-robin, live interpretation of the essential 1971 album, "Blue."

"Each performer will bring her own point of view to ‘Blue.’ said Reynolds in the release. "It might be a verbatim reading, right off the album, or a complete re-imagining of the song. I don’t even know yet what’s going to happen. I recommend that Joni Mitchell fans just get there and find out."

One of several concerts at Celtic Connections 2016 reflecting the currently hot-button topic of migration – a human phenomenon as old as the race, and indispensible to our cultural evolution – Pilgrimer reimagines Joni Mitchell’s classic 1976 album Hejira, whose Arabic title denotes both the prophet Muhammad’s flight from Mecca to Medina in 622, to escape persecution, and any flight from danger or hostility. Largely written while driving home solo from Maine to LA, Hejira meditates profoundly on what one track calls ‘The Refuge of the Road’, with its flipsides of freedom and loneliness.

Pilgrimer, by the novelist, poet and Scots language champion James Robertson – who’s long drawn inspiration from Mitchell’s canon – audaciously adapts the album into both Scots and a Scottish setting. It’s premièred here by a stellar cast including Dick Gaughan, Karine Polwart, Julie Fowlis and Annie Grace, plus Grammy-winning US guitarist Larry Carlton, who played on Hejira itself, and rising-star bassist Felix Pastorius, whose dad Jaco did.

Musicalou Productions and the Isis Music Hall present the North Carolina premiere of Joan & Joni, a tribute to Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell performed by singer/songwriters Allison Shapira and Kipyn Martin on Friday December 11th at 7:00 pm.

In Joan & Joni, Allison and Kipyn will bring to the stage many of Joan Baez and Joni Mitchell’s well-known songs, as well as a few of their lesser-known ones.

Both classically trained singers and up-and-coming musicians on the DC-area folk scene, they soon realized their musical influences were similarly shaped by the folk revival music of the 60’s.More info here.

JONI'S SOUL was formed with an all-star line-up in Summer 2014 to celebrate the brilliant and prolific work of Joni Mitchell. Given that contemporary interest in her music and personal history has never been so strong since her 2001 musical retirement, and the fact she's made it clear there'll be no future live performances, interest and expectation for this show is immense.

The five piece band, led by the beautiful from-the-heart vocals of Gina Foster (Eric Clapton, Sinead O’Connor) and guitarist Ronnie Johnson (Van Morrison, Bob Dylan), draw on their own emotional response to these songs to look beyond merely the faithful reproduction of the Joni Mitchell songbook and shine a light on the most soulful aspects of her words and music.

Coyote, Hejira, Edith and the Kingpin, The Hissing of Summer Lawns, River, Trouble Child, Help Me and Gina Foster’s gorgeous version of Both Sides Now - it’s through songs like these that the band explore the unique songwriting, harmonic concept and gift of performance Joni Mitchell so enduringly revealed in her iconic albums Blue, Court and Spark, Hejira, The Hissing of Summer Lawns and beyond … More information here

Few artists can rightly be called "icons" of their time and genre. Joni Mitchell is undoubtedly one of them. Her innovative and original music is woven into the very fabric of 20th century American culture. Much more than an entertainer, Mitchell became a treasured voice for millions of fans around the world.

Issa Forrest and Sweet Bird capture the magic and unique sound that so many have come to love through the decades. The band faithfully renders many of Joni's songs, while lovingly reimagining others. This gifted group of musicians truly lives up to the challenge implied in the phrase, "tribute band." Not content to simply "cover" Mitchell's life work, the group delivers the essence of the music and delights audiences with cherished memories.

This show amounts to an evening of time travel through Mitchell's own musical journey from the light and frolicking "Chelsea Morning" to the grounded and contemplative sound of "Sweet Bird."

Merideth Kaye Clark Performs Joni Mitchell’s “Blue” - A concert series where you enter through the Stage Door. On stage only. 60 seats available. Cafe style. Light hors d'oeuvres, no host bar.

Joni Mitchell's Blue (1971) is generally regarded by music critics as one of the greatest albums of all time. In January 2000, The New York Times chose Blue as one of the 25 albums that represented "turning points and pinnacles in 20th-century popular music".

In May, 2015 Merideth Kaye Clark performed the album in its entirety at Portland Center Stage's Ellen Bye Studio. It was such a hit that two additional performances were scheduled. Now it comes to the Columbia Theatre-a perfect addition to the intimacy of the Stage Door Concert series.

Kiwi songstress Julia Deans is raring to take the stage in Wairarapa once again after many moons away; this time around paying homage to singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell.

The Both Sides Now show will comprise "interpretations of about 15 or 16 of JM's amazing songs", she said, and will also feature guitarist Paul McLaney, multi-instrumentalist Sean "SJD" Donnelly, drummer Tom Broome, and pianist Robin Kelly. More information here.

Sweet Fire: The Joni Mitchell Project features the very best of Mitchell’s songs – from ‘Big Yellow Taxi’, ‘Woodstock’ and ‘Both Sides Now’ to ‘The Jungle Line’ and ‘God Must Be a Boogie Man’. Translated into exquisite Irish by poets Liam Ó Muirthile and Gabriel Rosenstock, they will be performed by singer Caitríona O’Leary. She will be accompanied by Dick Farrelly (guitars), Nick Roth (saxophone), Dave Redmond (bass) and Graham Hopkins (drums). Margaret Lonergan has created stunning screen projections of the lyrics.

In 1971, Joni Mitchell released "Blue," a collection of songs Rolling Stone magazine would later rank No. 30 among its 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.

That year, Carole King's "Tapestry," No. 36 on Rolling Stone's list, also came out, eventually spending 15 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard chart and chalking up four Grammy Awards and more than 10 million U.S. sales.

And Carly Simon picked up the 1971 Best New Artist Grammy, before "You're So Vain" dropped in '72 and spawned one of rock and roll's great mysteries— who was she singing about? — on its way to ranking No. 82 on Billboard's Greatest Songs of All Time list.

All of that, and the fact that all three women came into occasionally overlapping orbits around James Taylor — Mitchell as a lover, King as a collaborator, Simon as a wife — is covered in sweeping detail in the 2009 tome, "Girls Like Us: Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon — and the Journey of a Generation."

Some of it is celebrated in "Girls Like Us," a cabaret-style show coming to Park Forest and the Freedom Hall Matinee Theatre series at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 13. More info here.

54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents Blake Pfeil in The BBC, 1970 on Saturday, July 25.

In his 54 Below debut, up-and-coming singer/songwriter Blake Pfeil set up a challenge for himself: to pen and perform a new song as a mirrored response to each of the songs sung by Ms. Mitchell during the famed BBC broadcast. An eclectic walk between the realms of folk and pop, Mr. Pfeil's theatrically-charged melodic and poetic sensibilities weave a modern tapestry that examines humanity's continued search for joy.

The evening is co-conceived and directed by Ms. Sharone Halevy, in her subsequent 54 Below debut.

JONI'S SOUL was formed with an all-star line-up in Summer 2014 to celebrate the brilliant and prolific work of Joni Mitchell. Given that contemporary interest in her music and history has never been so strong since her 2001 musical retirement, and the fact she's made it clear there'll be no future live performances, interest and expectation for these UK shows is immense.

The five piece band, led by the beautiful from-the-heart vocals of Gina Foster (Eric Clapton, Sinead O’Connor) and guitarist Ronnie Johnson (Van Morrison, Bob Dylan), draw on their own emotional response to these songs to look beyond merely the faithful reproduction of the Joni Mitchell songbook and shine a light on the most soulful aspects of her words and music.

Coyote, Hejira, Edith and the Kingpin, The Hissing of Summer Lawns, River, Trouble Child, Help Me and Gina Foster’s gorgeous version of Both Sides Now - it’s through songs like these that the band explore the unique songwriting, harmonic concept and gift of performance Joni Mitchell so enduringly revealed in her iconic albums Blue, Court and Spark, Hejira, The Hissing of Summer Lawns and beyond …

Together they interpret the iconic music of Joni Mitchell through a jazz lens.

Kristen Graves will be opening the concert. Kristen is a singer/songwriter and humanitarian from Fairfield, CT, serving as the current Connecticut State Troubadour. Recently mentioned as ‘the new generation of folk’ by the New York Times, Kristen performs approximately 175 shows a year throughout the country. Returning to Sandywoods, Kristen will be performing to honor Joni Mitchell and support her friend, Debra Mann. She’ll be performing a combination of Joni pieces as well as her own. The audience will be invited to sing, laugh, cry, and enjoy each other as Kristen shares the stories behind her music - from sharing the Lincoln Center stage with Peter Yarrow, to sharing lentil soup and conversation with Pete Seeger - this is a wonderful way to start off a wonderful night!

Laurie Antonioli revisits an early musical influence with her recent recording, Songs of Shadow, Songs of Light, an exploration of Joni Mitchell’s songwriting. The project has been praised for Antonioli’s original approach and instinctive sense of musicality, avoiding any direct duplication of Mitchell’s oeuvre. Instead, she has come up with her own inventive arrangements while staying true to the heart of Mitchell’s songs.

Fearless Bay Area vocalist Laurie Antonioli has never shied away from plunging into jazz’s deepest pools. She’s raced through bebop steeplechases with cult saxophonist Pony Poindexter, collaborated with Bobby McFerrin during his formative San Francisco years, performed and collaborated with tenor sax legend Joe Henderson, and recorded a breathtaking duo album with pianist Richie Beirach, just for starters. With her latest project, Songs of Shadow, Songs of Light, Antonioli plumbs new emotional depths exploring her earliest musical inspiration, the vividly confessional songs of Joni Mitchell.

An internationally acclaimed jazz singer and influential educator, Antonioli doesn’t just interpret Mitchell’s music, she unveils unexpected emotional insights and uncovers submerged musical ideas while turning each song into her own revelatory tale. “Joni’s music is such a part of me, it’s like a second skin,” says Antonioli. “So is jazz, of course, but this goes even deeper. It’s where I started. You can hear how much she has influenced me now that I’ve come out with this recording.”

Mitchell’s songs have been so widely embraced by jazz singers in recent years that her music is ready for inclusion as the most contemporary chapter of the American Songbook. Part of what sets Songs of Shadow, Songs of Light apart is that Antonioli approaches Mitchell’s music as a jazz artist who leads a working band that, together, retains their group sound while also paying homage to a widely-known repertoire of music. This same band is also featured on her critically acclaimed 2010 album American Dreams (Intrinsic Music).

This concert will celebrate the release of Songs of Shadow, Songs of Light (Origin Records). The band on the recording is also the same band that will be on stage for a set of music featuring songs from the new CD. Joni Mitchell fans have attended the sold out “Joni” shows and have loved the new spin on familiar songs like “Woman of Heart and Mind,” “Both Sides Now,” and “River,” to name a few. The jazz musicians in the band are among the most revered in the Bay Area and are composers, bandleaders and first call sidemen. Together, the “American Dreams Band” is a cohesive, exciting and passionate collection of musicians – together creating a soundscape that enhances Ms. Antonioli’s interpretations of songs that defined a generation.

After nine CDs over 20 years with her longstanding Tierney Sutton Band, the vocalist decided to leave her comfort zone and leap off the cliff by tackling an homage to the revered pop singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell. With After Blue, her most daring and revealing project to date, Sutton puts her own unique stamp on familiar Mitchell tunes going back to 1969’s “Both Sides Now” and 1970’s “Big Yellow Taxi” and including more recent numbers like 1979’s “The Dry Cleaner from Des Moines” and 1982’s jivey “Be Cool,” along with Joni’s haunting take on the standard “Don’t Go to Strangers” from her 2000 orchestral album, Both Sides Now. A project she’s considered for a long time, Tierney says, “Thank you Joni Mitchell for your inspiration, your excellence. All I can hope for here is to scratch the surface of your deep legacy.” More info.

The highly influential singer-songwriter and versatile musician Joni Mitchell is best known for hit songs such as ‘Big Yellow Taxi’ and ‘Woodstock’ but there is far more to her work than this. Through the medium of original songs composed with lyricist Mike Jones and guitarist Alejandro Sancho, Sheffield based jazz singer Rosie Brown has taken her admiration for the song-writing, singing and playing of Joni Mitchell as the inspiration for this concert. In this ‘rich biographical body of work in song’ Rosie and her band explore the artist's career and complicated personal life, joys and trials, the love she walked away from to fulfill her artistic dreams, her life as a painter and the conflicts with fame of this all too human musical icon.

University of Sheffield alumnus Rosie Brown arrived at jazz when late nights in Techno clubs were rounded off with Nina Simone records. What really converted her though, was hearing Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue. Amongst her other influences, Ella Fitzgerald, Chet Baker, Carmen Macrae, Sheila Jordan, Shirley Horn, Cassandra Wilson and Keith Jarrett stand out. Rosie was originally part of a notable renaissance in classic jazz singing, a movement which includes Tina May with whom she studied. Other teachers include Sheila Jordan and Scottish award winning tenor saxophonist Bobby Wellins, who accepted an invitation to tour with her in 2000.

Rosie’s debut album, ‘Preface’ was released to rave reviews in 1998, coinciding with a national tour sponsored by Jazz Services. In 2001, album number two, ‘Now’s the Time’, was also warmly welcomed by critics. Her third, ‘Miss Brown to You’, came out in May 2003 and the fourth recording ‘Bicycles and Dreams’ reflects her evolution in both vocal range and musical interests.

Women know about the power of girlfriends — but how about an entire posse of female empowerment? For the past decade, nearly a dozen NYC and NJ-based women have been part of an informal NYC-based musical girlfriend posse called the Chicks with Dip — singers and songwriters all, who convene regularly for afternoons filled with songs, wine, chips and dip, and lots of girl talk that ranges from the silly to the sexually explicit and from the emotionally raw to the political. The Chicks are Honor Finnegan, Meg Braun, Sharon Goldman, Victoria Lavington, Catherine Miles, Karyn Oliver, Elisa Peimer, Allison Scola, Anna Dagmar, Carolann Solebello, and Allison Tartalia. Over the years, they have laughed, cried, gossiped and performed together — and supported each other through 10 years of ups and downs: the birth of Carolann’s son; Meg’s marathon success; Allison S.’s wedding; Allison T.’s dating dilemmas; Elisa’s husband’s brain tumor; and Sharon’s divorce — not to mention moves, job changes, unemployment, band breakups and writer’s block. Their most serious struggle was when Victoria was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2008.The gals swooped in to provide food, transportation, babysitting, and emotional support, as well as a fundraising performance in 2009 that raised over $5,000 towards Victoria’s treatment. “The idea for the Blue show sprang up organically up at a meeting in the summer of 2011,” says Carolann Solebello, longtime Chick and former member of female Americana trio Red Molly. “We were discussing Joni Mitchell and what her songwriting has meant to each of us, and since we’re always on the lookout for ways to collaborate, the 40th anniversary of Joni’s masterpiece seemed the perfect opportunity.”

Tickets for the special tribute concert – Joni Mitchell's Blue: A 40th Anniversary Celebration are $20 in advance and $23 at the door. Tickets are available online at www.meandthee.org and can be purchased in person in Marblehead at either the Spirit of ’76 Bookstore or the Arnould Gallery As at all me & thee coffeehouse events, refreshments are available, including homemade pastries, coffee, and teas. The me & thee has a handicapped-accessible entrance and an accessible bathroom, is a smoke-free environment, and is easily reached by MBTA bus. The me & thee is the oldest continually running acoustic coffeehouse in New England, and probably the country. The me & thee has been and will always be a volunteer, non-profit organization sponsored by the Unitarian Universalist Church of Marblehead.

Lauren Fox is being heralded as one of the brightest stars on the New York cabaret scene, and Friday she will be at the Schorr Family Firehouse Stage in Johnson City when Goodwill Theatre presents “Love, Lust, Fear and Freedom: Songs of Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen.”

A recent article in the New York Times singled out Fox as the “future of the cabaret world.” “Together, Lauren and her trio perform 16 songs — nine by Joni Mitchell and seven by Leonard Cohen — into a spellbinding his-and-hers dialogue that conjures the charged erotic climate of the hippie culture of the Woodstock era, when sex was infused with romantic mysticism. Her show is remarkable, deep and dramatically revealing.”

The affair of Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen in the late 1960s may have only lasted a few months, but its resonance in the songs of these two Canadians, especially in Mitchell’s lyrics, is far-reaching. A speculative exploration of their personal and artistic chemistry is only one aspect of Fox’s remarkable cabaret show.

Through stories and song, Fox examines the creative genius and conflicted desires of two of folk music’s most enduring artists.

Fox delves into the meaning behind the songs, giving us a better understanding of a painter and a poet who mesmerized the world through song. Highlights of the show include Mitchell’s “Chelsea Morning,” “River” and “Both Sides Now” and Cohen’s “Suzanne,” “Bird on a Wire” and “Hallelujah.”

In the spring, Fox was named as the Female Debut Artist of the Year at the annual MAC (Manhattan Association of Cabarets & Clubs) Awards and Debut Artist of the Year at the 27th Annual Bistro Awards, which celebrate outstanding achievement in cabaret and jazz. Film credits include Darren Aronofsky’s “Pi,” “Noon Blue Apples” (Sundance 2002 premiere), “Revolution Summer,” “Hamill” and “We Need to Talk About Kevin.”

Television credits include “New Amsterdam” and “Fringe.”

Tickets for the 7 p.m. show are $25 for adults and $22 for seniors and students and can be purchased at www.goodwilltheatre.net or by calling the theatre box office at (607) 772-2404, ext. 301.
