Jesca Hoop, Kate Stables, and Lail Arad announce new EP, The Songs Of Joni Mitchell Vol. 1
Jesca Hoop, Kate Stables (This Is The Kit), and Lail Arad have announced their new EP, The Songs Of Joni Mitchell Vol. 1, alongside the release of their cover of Joni Mitchell’s "Raised On Robbery".
Following a revered debut at The Roundhouse in April 2024, and a string of sold out performances, The Songs of Joni Mitchell returns this autumn with a lineup of artists paying tribute to one of the greatest songwriters of all time.
Jesca Hoop, Kate Stables (This Is The Kit) & Lail Arad, acclaimed singer-songwriters in their own right, will perform intimate interpretations of their favourite Joni Mitchell songs in a loving ode to the Matriarchitect of modern song. They will be joined by Richard Sears on piano and Lisa Hannigan & Loah as special guests in London and Dublin. Poet Laureate Simon Armitage and the band LYR have also been announced as special guests for London show at Shepherd’s Bush Empire on 13 November, bringing not only Joni Mitchell's songs, but also her poetry to life.
To celebrate this next chapter of the live show, Hoop, Stables and Arad will also release a companion EP: The Songs Of Joni Mitchell Vol. 1. Playing like a concert, these up close and personal recordings offer fresh interpretations of four formidable Joni Mitchell songs ("Raised On Robbery", "Morning Morgantown", "Big Yellow Taxi" and "A Case Of You").
The trio have shared their cover of "Raised On Robbery". “It was the joy of clicking these harmonies together, backstage at the Roundhouse, that sowed the seeds for the EP,” shares Arad.
The Songs Of Joni Mitchell Vol. 1, will be released on 12 September via Small Matters.
