Feinstein's/54 Below Presents Lauren Fox in THE EVOLUTION OF JONI MITCHELL

FEINSTEIN'S/54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents Lauren Fox in The Evolution of Joni Mitchell on Friday, September 13th at 9:30pm. Inspired by David Yaffe's passionate, brilliant biography, Lauren, in chronological order, takes a journey through Joni Mitchell's songwriting. From early folk to folk-rock, to jazz and pop music, Joni Mitchell continually evolved and pushed the envelope, defying critics and fans, who wanted her to stay the lithe and lovely, gentle folk faerie that they fell in love with in the 60's. Joni is a true pioneer, blazing a trail for women in music for decades to come, by never compromising her artistry.

Joni biographer, David Yaffe, joins Lauren in telling the stories behind songs, including, "Both Sides Now," Big Yellow Taxi," "Woodstock," "Blue," "Free Man in Paris," "Hejira," and "Turbulent Indigo."

Lauren had the honor of singing Joni Mitchell's songs at the book release for David Yaffe's new, definitive biography, Reckless Daughter, while David Read excerpts from his book. That evening was the inspiration for this show about Joni's evolving artistry.

Lauren will be joined by longtime friend and collaborator, Peter Calo, on guitar, and Ritt Henn on bass.

Lauren Fox in The Evolution of Joni Mitchell plays Feinstein's/54 Below (254 West 54th Street) on September 13th. There is a $40 cover charge and $25 food and beverage minimum. Tickets and information are available at www.54Below.com. Tickets on the day of performance after 4:00 are only available by calling (646) 476-3551.
