An intimate acoustic tribute to the music of Joni Mitchell with Joni’s most beloved album Blue performed in its entirety. Audiences and critics alike regard Blue as one of the greatest albums of all time: Mitchell’s honesty, musical prowess and iconic voice invite the audience into Joni’s experience of living and loving through the complex era of social change of the early 1970s.

Blue highlights the fallout of a decade of hedonism… ‘A Case of You’, a stunning declaration of intoxicating love; ‘Little Green’, arguably one of Joni’s most personal and brave songs; ‘California’ and ‘Carey’, carefree love letters to Joni’s travels and freedom.

Zervas & Pepper are a band based around Welsh singer-songwriters Paul Zervas and Kathryn Pepper. They have been creating and performing original music for over a decade, long-standing appreciators and torch-bearers of late ’60s/early ’70s USA West-Coast folk-rock sound. With their five-piece band, they present a two-hour/two-set show which features the album Blue performed in its entirety.

The second set is a journey through Joni’s first eight albums featuring many of her most enduring and beloved songs: ‘Song to A Seagull’, ‘Clouds’, ‘Ladies of the Canyon’, ‘For The Roses’, ‘Court & Spark’, ‘Hissing of Summer Lawns’ and ‘Hejira’, performed faithfully, respectfully and true to Joni’s timeless recordings.

‘Kathryn matches Mitchell’s voice perfectly: her range, clarity of expression, intonation, distinctive vibrato and resonant lower register all come across in Pepper’s singing. This is no mean feat.’ (London Jazz News)
