Joni Mitchell will perform at the Grammy Awards next Sunday.
The famed pop/folk/jazz singer songwriter has won 10 Grammys in her lifetime but never performed on the show.
This is big, big news and a stunning comeback for Joni. Nine years ago Joni suffered a brain aneurysm that almost killed her. Initially she couldn’t walk or talk. But she battled back, mightily, to the point where this year she is nominated for Best Folk Album, for her live performance at the Newport Folk Festival.
Will Brandi Carlile join her? Carlile has been a huge part of Joni’s career recovery. Will Taylor Swift be part of the proceedings? Taylor is nominated for 6 Grammys this year including Album, Song, and Record of the Year. This Grammy show could be her own Super Bowl!
Joni Mitchell has blazed a path in all genres of music, especially folk, pop, and jazz. Her hits include Both Sides Now, Big Yellow Taxi, Help Me, Free Man in Paris, The Circle Game, River (It’s Coming on Christmas), and many, many more. They could do a whole tribute to her on the Grammys– and maybe they will.
Kudos to Grammy producer Ben Winston for pulling this off!
