Following a revered debut at London’s Roundhouse, a string of sold out performances and widespread critical acclaim, The Songs of Joni Mitchell returns this autumn with an extraordinary lineup of artists.
The Songs Of Joni Mitchell, originally conceived by Lail Arad to mark Joni Mitchell’s 80th birthday, was described as “a perfect celebration of Joni Mitchell” (Get in Her Ears), hosted by Cerys Matthew and packed with “heartfelt and intricate performances” from Emeli Sandé, Eska, Jesca Hoop, Kate Stables, Lail Arad, Olivia Chaney, Sam Amidon and Vashti Bunyan.
Jesca Hoop, just a few months prior, presented Legend: The Joni Mitchell Story, the award-winning 6-part BBC Radio documentary and podcast about the life of Joni Mitchell lending further gravitas to the event.
Born out of a mutual love of Joni Mitchell – and tour bus bonding over their other favourite artists – Hoop and Arad are joining forces to launch Songs Of, a rolling concert series celebrating the world’s finest songwriters, through the intimate interpretations and unique voices of those they’ve inspired.
For The Songs Of Joni Mitchell Autumn 2025 tour they will be joined by Kate Stables (This Is The Kit) & Richard Sears on piano, as well as Lisa Hannigan, Loah, Simon Armitage & LYR as special guests for London and Dublin.
To celebrate this next chapter of the live show, Kate, Jesca and Lail have also released a companion EP: The Songs Of Joni Mitchell Vol. 1. Playing like the sweetest bedroom concert, these up close and personal recordings offer fresh interpretations of four treasured Joni Mitchell songs. The EP is out now on Small Matter Records.
