Joni Mitchell is one of folk music's most influential figures. Emerging from the folk music circuit in the mid-1960s, Mitchell quickly found success with albums such as 1970's 'Ladies of the Canyon' and
'Court and Spark,' released in 1974.
Among her accolades are 11 Grammy Awards, induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997, and the prestigious Gershwin Prize, awarded in 2023. Now in her eighties, Joni Mitchell continues to make occasional concert appearances where she delights audiences with renditions of some of her most famous songs, tracks that include 'Big Yellow Taxi' and 'The Circle Game.'
