The Joni Project

How many of us have thought about all the artists we love who didn't perform at The Woodstock Festival? For this very special show, The Joni Project has gathered together some of their favorite musician friends from Long Island to join them in presenting what promises to be a unique and exciting show: "Wood'vestock" - celebrating some of the artists who didn't make it to The Woodstock Festival. The Joni Project formed as a tribute in sound and spirit to Joni Mitchell, one of music’s greatest and most innovative artists. The band is fronted by Long Island's remarkable multi-instrumentalist and singer Katie Pearlman, who impressively plays Joni's songs in their original open guitar tunings; and 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. Together, they bring fresh interpretation to Joni's legendary tunes from their many eras and genres - particularly from the time of her stunning and dynamic collaboration with Jaco Pastorius, Pat Metheny and Michael Brecker. But The Joni Project celebrates it all - 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 The Special Guests: Dave Diamond (The Dave Diamond Band) performing The Beatles Jeff Mattson (Dark Star Orchestra) performing Bob Dylan Kenny Forgione (Wonderous Stories) performing Moody Blues Godfrey Townsend (The Yardbirds) performing Eric Clapton Mike Katzman (Friends of the Brothers) & Amy Stahlin (Stella Blues Band) performing Simon & Garfunkel Fred Goldring performing James Taylor
