She has described herself as a musician who writes “in her own blood”, an “antenna” to the foibles of the modern world and a “painter who writes music.” Whether she’s composing jazz-influenced epics or Van Gogh-homage self-portraits, Joni Mitchell produces her work with a brutal honesty. This way of being has sometimes put her at odds with both fans and critics, but no one can accuse her of pandering to the sounds and styles of the day. She has a singular vision that she will defend with a ferocious intensity.

On January 28th, Joni Mitchell will be inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame alongside legendary singer/songwriters Leonard Cohen and Gilles Vigneault. The other songwriter inductees are: Broadway and film score creator Raymond Egan (The Pioneers), the father of Canadian country music, Wilf Carter a.k.a. “Montana Slim” (Radio Era) and passionate Quebec artist Jean-Pierre Ferland (Modern Era).

Singer/songwriter James Taylor will pay tribute to Joni Mitchell with a performance of one of her five inducted songs, Woodstock, while Canadian soprano Measha Brueggergosman performs Mitchell’s classic hit Both Sides Now. Funk-pop legend Chaka Kahn will perform Help Me, one of Mitchell’s most distinctive and enduring melodies.
