Hejira: Celebrating Joni Mitchell

About the event

Praised by The Guardian as 'The UK's best and most convincing take on Joni Mitchell,' Hejira is a celebrated seven-piece ensemble dedicated to the music of Joni Mitchell. Formed in 2023, the band focuses on Mitchell's iconic mid-career catalog, performing songs from Court and Spark through Wild Things Run Fast, including favorites such as 'Amelia,' 'Hejira,' 'Coyote,' and 'A Case of You.' Led by guitarist Pete Oxley and featuring the outstanding vocalist, Hattie Whitehead, Hejira have quickly become the UK's most acclaimed interpreters of Joni Mitchell's music, performing more than 140 shows across the UK and Ireland, including appearances at the EFG London Jazz Festival, Brecon Jazz Festival, and Moseley Folk & Arts Festival. Their 2024 live album earned widespread praise from Jazzwise, which called the group "a formidably tight unit," while legendary drummer Bill Bruford declared: "Run, don't walk, for tickets."
