A Tribute to Joni Mitchell (featuring Liz Barnez, Rebecca Folsom, and Celeste Krenz) at Four Mile Historic Park

A TRIBUTE TO JONI MITCHELL FEATURING COLORADO’S PREMIER MUSICIANS!

FEATURING: LIZ BARNEZ, REBECCA FOLSOM, AND CELESTE KRENZ

Join us for a celebration of the songs and artistry of Joni Mitchell as we bring her songs to life!  Often referred to as the greatest contemporary songwriter, Joni has been a huge influence in our lives and music over the years.  Joni’s career has spanned over half a century, and in that time, she explored and experimented in many genres of music and made them her own.  We have selected some of our favorite Joni songs and aspire to honor the original and explore our individual artistry through her songs. Liz Barnez, Rebecca Folsom, and Celeste Krenz will be singing and providing harmony vocals, guitar, and piano. 

FEATURING:

Celeste Krenz: Former Denverite Celeste Krenz is a singer / songwriter of rare talent, with a pure, sweet voice. Her music is infused with healthy doses of pop tunefulness and folky austerity–a classic example of Nashville songwriting a la Nanci Griffith, Iris DeMent, and Emmylou Harris.                                                                                                                                          

"An infectious blend of sweet vocals, story based lyrics and acoustic sensibilities." Billboard Magazine                                                                                                                                     

"Meticulously drawn songwriting, equal parts, torch and poetry, brain and soul." David Kirby, Denver Post
