A stellar
quartet of musicians - Jana Varga (vocals, guitar,
flute), Pete Billington (keyboards, guitar), Mike
Sturgis (drums), and bandleader Stefan Redtenbacher (bass)
- explore Joni Mitchell's cherished repertoire to provide a
spellbinding 're-imagining' homage to the classic work of this legendary
artist.
Joni Mitchell's
unique song catalogue has intrigued and captivated artists and audiences alike
and bandleader Stefan Redtenbacher caught the bug after 'jamming'
a Joni tune during lockdown which, bit by bit, led to a deep dive
into Mitchell's iconic work. With his multi-million streaming band, Redtenbachers
Funkestra - an exceptional lineup of international musicians with
impressive credits, including collaborations with music legends like Bowie,
Elton, and Herbie Hancock - Redtenbacher started to re-arrange and
re-imagine her compositions, very much mirroring
the creative sensibilities of Joni herself.
After a
series of successful concerts, in various formats, including sold out
shows at Ronnie Scott's famous venue, this intimate version touring
for 2025 features a not to be missed quartet line up bringing a particularly
'up close and personal' (re) examination of Joni's unique artistry.
