Joni Mitchell Tribute - Rochester

Lauren and The Good Souls came together initially, in tribute to the amazingly talented Joni Mitchell. Every band member is a multi-instrumentalist, making their ability to cover Joni’s expansive repertoire a reality. If you know Mitchell’s music, you know the complexity, beauty, depth and evolution of her songwriting. From the intimate acoustic moments, horn section swells, tight harmonies and orchestral arrangements, this band can cover it all. The band’s love and admiration for Joni’s music, and for each other, will captivate and engage the audience, making an evening that is truly something special. Musical guests include Brian Ayers, Ross Falzone, Erin Futterer, Lu Highsmith, Sue Tierney and Dawn Thomson. Live painting on stage with Katrina Gespar.

Renaissance Rochester

Renaissance is a band with a rich history unique unto themselves as progressive rock pioneers who rose from the ashes of the seminal UK rock band, The Yardbirds. Acclaimed for their unique blending of progressive rock with classical and symphonic influences, the band’s career has now spanned over fifty years spearheaded by the 5-octave voice of Annie Haslam and the masterful songwriting skills of the late Michael Dunford and Betty Thatcher. They are widely considered to be the band that most successfully fully and routinely utilized the sound of a full orchestra in their recordings.
