City Winery NYC presents The Joni Project live on Monday, July 27th, at 7:30 PM!
For this special show, The Joni Project will cover Joni's songs through the years - from her 1968 release Song to a Seagull produced by David Crosby, through Clouds, Ladies of the Canyon, Blue, Court and Spark, and more, celebrating Joni's acclaimed genius and unconventional songwriting: from folk to pop, rock and jazz. This stellar tribute features vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Katie Pearlman, who impressively plays Joni's songs in their original open tunings. Her band 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, the Neville Brothers, and so many others. Premik Russell Tubbs alone has played with Carlos Santana, Whitney Houston, Sting, James Taylor, Lady Gaga, Herbie Hancock. Together, they bring fresh interpretation to Joni’s legendary tunes from their many eras and genres – 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
