EMILY GROVE’S JONI MITCHELL BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION 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 the region’s favorite young musicians – including guest vocalists – will joyfully present 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.

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).

Joni Mitchell has never played Caffè Lena, but, in so many ways, she represents the values that have driven America’s longest-running coffeehouse since its opening night in May, 1960. Both have strong ties to the folk tradition, a fierce independence, a close connection with humanity and a relentless musical vision of what the future can be.

Produced and hosted by Capital Region Thomas Edison Music Awards Hall of Fame inductee Michael Eck, this special evening‚ a benefit for Caffè Lena, features performances of Mitchell classics from all phases of the artist’s career. The stellar lineup includes fellow Hall of Famer Sara Ayers; multiple Eddie Award-winner Buggy Jive; Eddie nominee Kate McDonnell; the dynamic Kate McKrell; reclusive regional favorite Rosanne Raneri; and rising star Angelina Valente.

“When Mitchell appeared at last year’s Newport Folk Festival with Brandi Carlile,” Eck says, “it affirmed once again just how important a force she is in the music world – endlessly inventive melodically, endlessly searching lyrically and endlessly inspiring in every way.”

“Joni has re-emerged to stir idealism and hope, which is exactly the spirit Caffè Lena wants to foster,” says Executive Director Sarah Craig. “This slate of top-tier regional talent, including some rarely seen artists, proves how much pull Joni has on both musicians and fans these days."

Come celebrate Mitchell’s pioneering spirit and indelible mark on the landscape of American art and culture, with a special musical tribute to Joni Mitchell, on the cusp of her 80th birthday.

A special concert commissioned by Llais to pay homage to singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell, focusing largely on two albums that were fully orchestrated: ‘Both Sides Now’ (2000) and ‘Travelogue’ (2002), performed by special guest singers Charlotte Church, Laura Mvula, ESKA and Gwenno, and BBC National Orchestra of Wales.

Mitchell, one of the most celebrated and influential artists of her generation, originated in the American folk scene of the 1960s, along with the likes of Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, and she quickly established herself as a visionary writer and activist.

The album ‘Both Sides Now’ was conceived as a song cycle documenting a relationship from initial flirtation to optimistic consummation, ending in disillusionment and ironic despair, and finally the philosophical overview of acceptance and the probability of the cycle repeating itself.

Always open to experimentation, Mitchell later started to include jazz influences in her writing as evident in albums such as ‘Court and Spark’ and the lush orchestrations we hear on ‘Both Sides Now’ and ‘Travelogue’.

Over the past five decades, Joni Mitchell has created a body of songs and recordings that defies definition. Her influence on subsequent generations of musicians, from Prince to Taylor Swift to Diana Krall, is almost unmatched. She is the bridge between the rise of the folk singer after World War II and the current generation of multimedia musical artists. In this course, we will study six recordings that marked Mitchell’s transition from an ethereal folk performer to a badass jazz/rock innovator who collaborated with such major figures as Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock. We will look closely at her lyric style and her unique approach to musical composition, tuning, and sound. The instructor will present perspectives and insights into Mitchell’s writing, and together we will discuss the following albums: Ladies of the Canyon, Blue, For the Roses, Court and Spark, The Hissing of Summer Lawns, and Hejira. The instructor will circulate some reading about Mitchell’s work, focusing on a different theme each week. More information here

‘Hejira’ is a 7-piece band set up to celebrate and honour the masterpiece works of Joni Mitchell, mostly from the late ‘70s. Having released the albums ‘The Hissing of Summer Lawns’, ‘Hejira’, ‘Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter’ and ‘Mingus’ (regarded as her ‘jazz period’), Joni then toured briefly with a band formed from the crème de la crème of contemporaneous jazz musicians (Metheny, Mays, Brecker, Pastorius and Alias). The tour was recorded, producing the outstanding live album, ‘Shadows And Light’; it is from this album that the band Hejira is drawing the body of its repertoire. Comprising highly experienced jazz musicians, this band is fronted by the brilliant Hattie Whitehead who not only has - in her own way - assimilated the poise, power and beauty of Joni’s vocals, but also plays guitar with Joni’s stylistic mannerisms.

On the heels of Joni Mitchell’s first public performance in more than two decades comes EMILY GROVE’S JONI JAM – A TRIBUTE TO JONI MITCHELL, which 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 the region’s favorite young musicians – including guest vocalists – will joyfully present 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. More information here

I’d like to share my passion for Joni Mitchell with you.

Born in New York, my family immigrated to Israel when I was 12 years old. It was there that I first heard Joni’s music. She immediately seeped into my bones.

Morning, noon, and night I walked the streets of Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Jericho, singing her songs. Later, in Paris, she hovered over my left should as I composed.

Our jazz quartet celebrates Joni. Each musician is a multi- instrumentalist creating rich soundscapes. Three voice harmonies abound. Between the songs I tell stories of H, a teenager in Jerusalem in the 70’s, bewitched by Joni.

In what will be an unforgettable celebration of her music and art rather than a typical tribute, ‘This is Joni’ offers something for everyone, and not just for solid fans of Joni Mitchell’s extensive musical history.

Written and performed by Melbourne singer/song writer, Lauren Elizabeth, the audience will be taken through an exploration of memorable songs from the legendary singer/songwriter, who defined a generation through her music. It is impossible to categorize Joni’s sound, as she explored so many genres, and this show pays homage to them all.

Performing her many hits such as ‘Help Me’, ‘Big Yellow Taxi’, ‘Blue’ and ‘Free Man In Paris‘, plus a collection of songs spanning Joni’s 40-odd year career, Lauren will perform with her outstanding 6 piece band, comprising some of Melbourne’s finest musicians and special guest vocalists.

The show will also explore the artist and painter that is Joni Mitchell and the work she has produced, dating back to the early 1950’s, right up to the present day.

‘This is Joni’ introduces Lauren Elizabeth, a Monash Performing Arts alumni who has been performing throughout Melbourne and Australia for over 15 years. Her most credited work includes numerous appearances on Channels 9 & 10, performances with the Melbourne Sydney Symphony Orchestra, singing alongside artists such as Kate Ceberano, Ross Wilson, Daryl Braithwaite, Joe Camilleri, Vika Bull and Vince Jones, and more recently working as the backing vocalist for studio albums by The Black Sorrows.

Lauren explains, “I was introduced to Joni’s music when I was 12 years old by my father, and that’s when I decided I wanted to become a singer myself. She is without question my greatest musical inspiration. Writing and performing this show will be an incredible highlight in my career.”
