Band leader Stefan Redtenbacher leads a world class quartet, with CVs to prove it, fronted by the mesmerising vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Jana Varga. Collectively, they will be reimagining the magical songs of Joni Mitchell, so expect sometimes surprising yet always respectful interpretations of classic songs such as Big Yellow Taxi, A Case of You, Both Sides Now, The River, Woodstock, and many more.
This is a genuine artistic 'homage' to Joni's songs, reflecting her own remarkable quest for ongoing creativity with inspired recreations from her catalogue of best-known compositions — all with the implicit blessing of her own official website.
Citing a mixture of influences like classical music, songwriters such as Janis Ian, James Taylor, and the well-travelled folk of Paul Simon, Jana has her own distinct voice that continues to evolve.
Notably, in late 2023, Jana graced the stage at the O2 Indigo as part of Rumer's band, captivating audiences both as an opening act and a key member of the ensemble.
