Come and celebrate the Songbird Of Saskatewan, who gave voice to a generation, in this loving tribute to Joni Mitchell's 75th Birthday.
Starting as a Canadian folk singer in cafes and bars, Joni migrated to California in the mid 1960s where she befriended fellow musian David Crosby of The Byrds, who got her a record deal. Success followed with Judy Collins recording of "Both Sides Now", brfore Joni found superstardom with her song "Woodstock", made famous by Crosby Stills Nash and Young, and which became a celebrated anthem with the famous 1969 rock festival of the same name.
With the success of her albums "Ladies Of The Canyon" and "Blue", Joni became the decades most accomplished female singer songwriter. She also used her skills as a painter to design numerous album covers for herself and others. Ever changing and challenging herself as a musician, she experimented with jazz, fusion and electronica during the 1970s and beyond.
Our tribute will include Chelsea Morning, Woodstock, Both Sides Now and Big Yellow Taxi. 110 minutes.
