The Evolution of Joni Mitchell: Starring Lauren Fox
The Tarkington // Friday, Jan 24, 8pm ET
Inspired by Reckless Daughter, David Yaffe’s biography of legendary songwriter Joni Mitchell, performer Lauren Fox created this captivating and enlightening journey through Mitchell’s life and music. Throughout the performance, Fox and pianist/narrator Jon Weber use excerpts from the book to tell the stories behind classic songs including “Both Sides Now,” “Big Yellow Taxi,” “Chelsea Morning,” “Woodstock,” “The Circle Game,” “A Case Of You,” “Free Man in Paris,” “Hejira,” “Night Ride Home” and “Turbulent Indigo.” From early folk to folk-rock, jazz and pop, Mitchell continually evolved and pushed the envelope, defying critics and blazing a trail for women in music for decades to come.
