About John Kelly:

After an eight-year absence, two-time Obie Award winning artist John Kelly once again inhabits the persona of Joni Mitchell in an entirely new evening of songs and stories.

His countertenor uncannily evokes Mitchell's own smoky soprano as he sings songs from the various stages of her career in their original key. He also plays dulcimer and replicates Mitchell’s guitar style by way of her signature open tunings.

“As a kid growing up in New Jersey, I would put on my headphones and be swept into Joni’s world,” explains Kelly on his love for Mitchell’s music. “Hers is a world rich with wanderlust, emotion and innuendo. Her songs have the power to transport a lonely individual into another world. I suppose it was the words as much as the music. The combination of the two was, and remains powerful, beautiful and compelling.” The Boston Globe recently wrote, "No less a critic than Joni Mitchell herself has been surprised by the impact of Kelly's cabaret tribute. ‘I was braced for a lampooning,’ she told The New York Times after seeing "Paved Paradise" in Manhattan in 1997. ‘I didn't expect to be so touched. I cried in two places.’ Mitchell is now one of Kelly's biggest fans."
