Carnie Wilson, Wendy Wilson, and Chynna Phillips aka Wilson Phillips have sold over 10 million copies worldwide and scored three number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, making the trio the best-selling female group of all time. The group won the Billboard Music Award for Hot 100 Single of the Year for “Hold On,” and in addition was nominated for four Grammy Awards and two American Music Awards. Other hits include “Release Me,” “You’re In Love,” “Impulsive” and “The Dream Is Still Alive.” Most recently, the trio appeared in the hit comedy movie Bridesmaids, and also released the album, Dedicated, featuring cover versions of songs by The Beach Boys and The Mamas and Papas.

The Joni Mitchell Project celebrates the genius of the Joni Mitchell songbook. Kiki delivers beautiful piano on "Both Sides Now" and "Case of You," and shifts to guitar on "Coyote" and "Chelsea Morning," among others. You'll enjoy her band arrangements of "Woodstock," "Big Yellow Taxi," and "Free Man in Paris," as well as the deeper tracks like "Blonde in the Bleachers," and "Michael From Mountains" . From Joni's earliest years to her later, more edgy, material, Kiki and her band pay tribute to Joni Mitchell, her music, style, originality and pure artistry. Don't miss it!
