This Flight Tonight - The Songs of Joni Mitchell
Sublime. Faithful. Does Joni Mitchell’s music justice.
This Flight Tonight is an intimate acoustic tribute to the music of Joni Mitchell. At their show, they’ll play a comprehensive performance of Joni’s beloved album ‘Blue’ in its entirety.
‘Blue’ is regarded by audiences and critics as one of the greatest albums of all time. Mitchell’s honesty, musical prowess and iconic voice invites the audience into Joni’s experience of living and loving through the complex era of social change of the early 1970s.
‘Blue’ highlights the fallout of a decade of hedonism… ‘A Case of You’, a stunning declaration of intoxicating love. ‘Little Green’ Arguably one of Joni’s most personal and brave songs. ‘California’, ‘Carey’, carefree love letters to Joni’s travels and freedom.
