The Joni Project - Celebrating the Music of Joni Mitchell
featuring Katie Pearlman and her band

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, Carlos Santana, John McLaughlin, Whitney Houston, Sting, and so many others. 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.

"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

Whether you're a lifelong Joni devotee or discovering her brilliance for the first time, this show promises an unforgettable evening of timeless music and masterful performance.
