Tickets: $45 - $50 (includes fees)
About
Experience the extraordinary music of Joni Mitchell. Fronted by acclaimed Long Island vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Katie Pearlman, The Joni Project brings fresh energy and sophisticated musicianship to Joni's timeless songs. From Blue and Court and Spark to beloved classics like “Big Yellow Taxi” and “Free Man in Paris,” it's a powerful celebration of one of music's most influential artists!
The Joni Project formed as a tribute in sound and spirit to Joni Mitchell, one of music’s greatest and most innovative artists. The band is fronted by Long Island's remarkable multi-instrumentalist and singer Katie Pearlman, who impressively plays Joni's songs in their original open guitar tunings; and includes jazz and jam band mainstays Dave Berg (guitar), Dan Ehrlich (bass), Alan Lerner (drums), Mark Mancini (keyboards), Steve Finkelstein (percussion), Premik Russell Tubbs (saxophone and flute), and Victoria Faiella (backing vocals).Collectively, they’ve performed with members of the Grateful Dead, The Band, The Doors, the Neville Brothers, and so many others. Premik Russell Tubbs alone has played with Carlos Santana, Whitney Houston, Sting, James Taylor, Lady Gaga, Herbie Hancock, and more. Together, they bring fresh interpretation to Joni’s legendary tunes from their many eras and genres – particularly from the time of her stunning and dynamic collaboration with Jaco Pastorius, Pat Metheny and Michael Brecker. But The Joni Project celebrates it all - from Both Sides Now, Big Yellow Taxi, Chelsea Morning and Help Me, to Raised on Robbery and Free Man in Paris.
For this special show, The Joni Project will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Joni's Hejira album, plus a selection of other amazing songs from Blue, Court and Spark, Clouds, and more.
"The Joni Project is quite simply the finest and most musically sophisticated tribute to Joni on the scene today!" - Jim Faith, concert promoter and producer of The Great South Bay Music Festival
