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's past three solo shows, Love, Lust, Fear & Freedom: The Songs Of Joni Mitchell & Leonard Cohen, Canyon Folkies: Over the Hills & Under the Covers, and Groupies: The Muses Behind the Legends of Rock & Roll have received critical acclaim from, among others, The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. She has performed at Jazz at Lincoln Center's Rose Theater, Carnegie Hall, The Town Hall, Subculture NYC, The Crazy Coqs (London), and has headlined at performing arts centers across the country, such as The Washington Center for the Performing Arts, The Katherine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center, Monmouth Center for the Arts, and The Bankhead Theater in Livermore Valley, CA.
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.

This fall, Broadway and television star Andy Mientus will bring Joni Mitchell's iconic 1970 album Ladies of the Canyon to life at Feinstein's/54 Below.
At 26 years old, Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded songs, drew album art, and hand wrote lyrics for the release of her third studio album, Ladies of the Canyon, which Rolling Stone hailed as "An album of departures, overheard conversations and unquiet triumphs for this hymnal lady who mingles the random with the particular so effectively." Music director Benjamin Rauhala and Mientus will cover the album in full, stripping beloved songs such as "Big Yellow Taxi," "Woodstock," and "The Circle Game," down to find the hymns inside these unquiet triumphs.
Last seen at Feinstein's/54 Below in The Jonathan Larson Project, Andy Mientus is perhaps best known for playing writer Kyle Bishop on NBC's "Smash."

Other television includes the upcoming series "Gone" on WGN (Jan 2019), "The Flash" on the CW, "Chasing Life" on ABC Family, and "Anger Management" on FX. Writing includes the musical Burn All Night, written with synth pop group Teen Commandments (World Premiere, American Repertory Theater) and the Backstagers book series from Abrams/Amulet publishing, available now wherever books are sold.
Benjamin Rauhala worked on the music team for both Bartlett Sher's Broadway revival of Fiddler on the Roof and the Broadway production of American Psycho during the 2016 season. He recently served as the Associate Music Director on The Secret Life of Bees, directed by Sam Gold at the Atlantic Theater. His other Off-Broadway credits include David Byrne's Joan of Arc: Into The Fire at The Public Theater and the current revival of The Marvelous Wonderettes at Theater Row. He is best known as the music director for Jeremy Jordan, the Tony-nominated star of Broadway's Newsies, and as the co-creator and 'Fairy Godfairy' of the Broadway Princess Party concert series with Laura Osnes. He met Mientus while serving as music director for Hit List, the meta-musical from the NBC television show "Smash," and is an Original Programming Producer at Feinstein's/54 Below, where he has created dozens of sold-out concerts, including the 'Broadway Loves' Series, which has famously honored Demi Lovato, Britney Spears, Celine Dion, and many more beloved pop icons.

BROADWAY IN THE ROUND: FEATURING Aisha Jackson, Tee Boyich, AND MORE, SEPTEMBER 28 AT 11:30PM
Inspired by the singer-songwriter rounds popularized in Nashville, IN THE ROUND sees your favorite Broadway performers take to the stage for a stripped back and intimate evening of storytelling through the songs that have shaped their professional and personal lives.
A hopeful series, IN THE ROUND aims to provide performers a platform to tell the stories of their life and career that they ordinarily would not have the opportunity to through the songs that have impacted them the most, while simultaneously fostering a fan to performer relationship like no other in a safe and intimate environment.
How It Works: Five performers take to the stage for the entirety of the show, seated on stools in a line. Each performer will perform two songs during the show. Going down the line, each performer will talk about the song they've chosen to perform and the impact it's had on them... perhaps it was the first theatre piece they heard, their first audition song. It could be a deep story, a light-hearted story, a funny story. They perform the piece, and the performer beside them continues in successions before the line rounds off to the start and the performers repeat this with their second, and final, song for the night.
Music Directed by Ashley Ryan
