About this event
At Kendal Brewery Arts Centre in Cumbria on Friday, 6 November 2026: Hejira - Celebrating Joni Mitchell.
Extended Theatre Seated
Following a stellar performance in 2025, Hejira return to Brewery Arts.
Hejira is an outstanding 7-piece band set up to celebrate and honour the masterpiece works of Joni Mitchell, mostly from the late ‘70s. Having released the albums The Hissing of Summer Lawns, Hejira, Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter and Mingus, Joni then toured briefly with a band formed from the crème de la crème of contemporaneous musicians (Metheny, Mays, Brecker, Pastorius and Alias). The tour was recorded, producing the much-lauded live album, Shadows And Light; it is from this album that the band Hejira is drawing the body of its repertoire.

Expect an evening of the ‘great’ songs from Mitchell’s back catalogue, such as Amelia, Help Me, A Case Of You, Song For Sharon, Free Man in Paris and more.
