Joni Mitchell Tribute with Strings Attached

July 25, 2007

Strings Attached Joni Mitchell Tribute This Weekend

Strings Attached Presents “The Music of Joni Mitchell”

Three performances, July 27-29, in Austin and Marble Falls

Visit www.stringsattached.org for information and tickets, more details below

This Strings Attached show has been too long in coming. With a world full of people (including those of us in Strings Attached) who can mark some of the major events in their lives by Joni Mitchell’s discography, we couldn’t resist the temptation any longer, and we hope you’ll join us for this career retrospective—from the mid 60s, through Hejira and beyond.

While Joni Mitchell never held claim to the #1 spot on the Billboard charts (her highest was #7 – can you name it? See the * at bottom for the answer!), we suspect you have a place in your hearts for all the words to many of the songs you’ll hear, including…

Early Hits: Big Yellow Taxi, Chelsea Morning

From “Court & Spark”: Free Man in Paris, People’s Parties

From “Blue”: This Flight Tonight, Carey

From “Hejira”: Coyote, Amelia, Strange Boy, Hejira

… and many more. We even promise you a breathtaking early Joni Mitchell song which was never committed to vinyl—a “first” for your ears, and we’re honored to bring it to you.

As with all Strings Attached shows, you can expect to be comforted by the familiar—and challenged by the twist. For this show, we’ve chosen four women to sing the lyrics of Joni Mitchell, and each one gives different meaning to the idea of “vocal power.” Joining us to sing these songs will be Suzanna Choffel, Libby Kirkpatrick, Jean Synodinos and Molly Venter. Visit their websites to form your own impressions of how these unique singer-songwriters will deliver the lyrics you love—then come and be surprised.

In addition to our “normal” Strings Attached performance in Austin (July 27^th at St. Michael’s), we are privileged to be offering this show in a blissfully intimate house concert performance on Saturday, July 28^th in Westlake. Thanks to Lori and Ron Olfers for hosting the show. Light food and appetizers will be available compliments of 2 Dine 4 Fine Catering, as will complimentary beer, wine, sodas and water.

And for a Joni Mitchell “primer” we recommend watching the Joni videos on You Tube, revisiting your favorite (or new!) Joni songs from her catalog on iTunes or stopping by her extraordinary official website.

* The answer? Joni’s highest charting song was Help Me off of “Court and Spark” which hit #7 on the Billboard charts.
