This concert will feature a stellar cast of some of the New York City area's finest female singer-songwriters plus Philadelphia percussionist Cheryl Prashker (of Runa)–in celebration of Joni Mitchell's landmark album "Blue." The evening will include performances of all the songs from "Blue" plus original songs influenced by Joni Mitchell. Performers will include:
Meg Braun, Honor Finnegan, Sharon Goldman, Catherine Miles, Karyn Oliver, Elisa Peimer, Allison Scola, Carolann Solebello, and Allison Tartalia, collectively known as Chicks with Dip. The Chicks will celebrate their 12th anniversary this year.“The idea for the Blue show sprang up organically up at a meeting in the summer of 2011,” says Solebello, longtime Chick and former member of female Americana trio Red Molly. “We were discussing Joni Mitchell and what her songwriting has meant to each of us, and since we’re always on the lookout for ways to collaborate, the 40th anniversary of Joni’s masterpiece seemed the perfect opportunity.”
