Bear Remounts Tribute Show To Celebrate Joni Mitchell's Birthday  ImageAfter a highly successful run at The Gladstone, Bear & Co. brings their new show, This Flight Tonight: Songs of Joni Mitchell in concert format to St. Brigid's Centre for the Arts on Joni Mitchell's 75th birthday, November 7, at 7:30.

Skate away with four singers as they celebrate the soaring vocals, incisive vision, humour, wit, and bracing singularity of this uncompromising artist, whose painter's hand is ever-present in her music. Passing around a dozen different instruments, Pierre Brault, Rachel Eugster, Robin Guy, and Scott Richardson soar over Mitchell's sensuous landscape. This Fight Tonight: Songs of Joni Mitchell carries you from her pencil sketch of the joys of early "Chelsea Morning" to her passionate "Blue" heart. And at select moments, you'll even be invited to sing along!

Help us celebrate Joni Mitchell's 75th birthday, and join us to honour the Canadian genius whom Rolling Stone hails as "one of the greatest poets in 20th-century music-a visionary talent of achingly candid lyrics, fleet guitar lines and stirringly elegant vocals." Gaze up with us at the Prairie sky as Joni Mitchell's blaze of creative brilliance warms our hearts.

Pierre Brault, Rachel Eugster, Robin Guy, and Scott Richardson offer a concert version of This Flight Tonight: Songs of Joni Mitchell, an early hit in The Gladstone's Tenth Anniversary Season.

Performance date: Wednesday, November 7-Joni Mitchell's 75th birthday! Performance venue: St. Brigid's Centre for the Arts, 310 St. Patrick Street, Ottawa Tickets are $20-25, at https://www.eventbrite.com/myevent?eid=51940360015 or at the door.
