Josie McDonough and Mike Ridley have meticulously developed their own versions of their favourite Joni Mitchell songs. This includes some well-known works, like Both Sides Now, and less familiar ones, such as Urge for Going, which was released as a B-side to one of the singles from For the Roses in 1972. By combining the artist’s most popular recordings with lesser-known personal choices, The Joni Project proves to be as enlightening and surprising as it is entertaining and nostalgic. This is not, and I repeat NOT, a tribute act, since the duo have no desire to emulate Mitchell’s very unique, even inimitable sound and style. The Joni Project is much more about inspiration than emulation. It enables two fine and experienced performers to take what they love most about Joni’s songs and make them their own.
This will be their final concert of the specially chosen North East live music venues.
