The Joni Project

The Joni Project pays tribute to the sound and spirit of the music of Joni Mitchell, the legendary artist responsible for some of the most powerfully enduring, and well-loved songs of all time. For this special show, The Joni Project celebrates the 50th Anniversary of the release of Court and Spark, performing the album in its entirety plus a selection of other Joni favorites. Released in January 1974, Court and Spark infused the folk-rock style of Joni’s previous albums with jazz elements, which The Joni Project displays in electrifying and elegant fashion. The Joni Project is fronted by the remarkable multiple-instrumentalist and songwriter Katie Pearlman on guitar & vocals and The Long Island based band also includes jazz and jamband mainstays Dave Berg on guitar, Dan Ehrlich on bass, Alan Lerner on drums, Mark Mancini on keyboards, Steve Finkelstein on percussion, Premik Russell Tubbs on saxophone and flute, and Victoria Faiella on background vocals. Collectively, they’ve performed with members of the Grateful Dead, The Band, The Doors, the Neville Brothers and many others. Together, they are quite simply the finest and most musically sophisticated tribute to Joni on the scene today.
