Jesca Hoop, Lail Arad, Olivia Chaney take Mitchell to the masses following their Roundhouse triumph.

The Roundhouse in full flight!

Following the glorious debut at The Roundhouse’s ‘In The Round’ Festival in April, ‘The Songs of Joni Mitchell’ will be performed by the three artists and colleagues in Bristol, Manchester and Glasgow this September. The original show was conceived and curated by Lail Arad in celebration of Joni Mitchell’s 80th birthday. The success of the sold out Roundhouse show led to increased demand for further shows, which in turn has lead to this UK tour. Described as “a perfect celebration of Joni Mitchell” and a collection of “heartfelt and intricate performances” by Get In Her Ears, the show offers “a truly heartwarming ode to the music of one of the world’s most inspirational artists.”

The female-dominated line-up, all celebrated singer-songwriters in their own right, will perform intimate, stripped back interpretations of their favourite Mitchell songs in a loving tribute to one of the greatest songwriters and musicians of all time. The three frontline artists who all performed at the original Roundhouse show, will be joined by very special guests in each city: Rachael Daad & Julia Turner in Bristol, Josephine Oniyama in Manchester and Rachel Sermanni in Glasgow, as well as Gigi Williams, a 2024 Roundhouse resident artist, on all dates. With vocals and lyrics boldly at the forefront, ‘The Songs of Joni Mitchell’ showcases the magnitude of Joni’s repertoire through the new generation of artists she continues to inspire. Tickets are available from all the usual outlets.
