Joni Mitchell Tribute
featuring Liz Barnez, Rebecca Folsom, and Celeste Krenz
with Eric Moon, Eric Thorin, Eric Straumanis, and Steve Ivey
Join us for an unforgettable evening celebrating the music and legacy of Joni Mitchell—widely regarded as one of the greatest contemporary songwriters of our time. Joni’s genre-defying catalog spans folk, jazz, pop, and beyond, and her influence runs deep in the lives and music of the performers on this stage.
Three of Colorado’s most respected singer-songwriters—Liz Barnez, Rebecca Folsom, and Celeste Krenz—will bring Joni’s songs to life with rich harmonies, soulful vocals, and expressive instrumentation on guitar and piano. Backed by a powerhouse band of Colorado’s top-tier musicians—Eric Moon (keys), Steve Ivey (drums), Eric Thorin (bass), and Eric Straumanis (guitar)—this tribute captures both the spirit of the originals and the personal artistry of each performer.
