Upcoming shows
Oxford (with Hejira)
Celebrating Joni Mitchell: the 7-piece band ‘Hejira’ performs the greatest works of the genius singer-songwriter. Fronted by the outstanding vocalist and musician Jana Varga. Following the release of the albums ‘The Hissing of Summer Lawns’, ‘Hejira’, ‘Don Juan’s Reckless Daughter’ and ‘Mingus’ in the late 1970’s, Joni 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 outstanding 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’, ‘Woodstock’, 'A Case Of You’, ’Song For Sharon’, 'Edith And The Kingpin’ and more!

Dusty In Memphis
Music journalist and author Paul Sexton presents the next in his Live Archive series, exclusive to the Sound Lounge. After celebrating the life and work of Bonnie Raitt, Robbie Robertson and Dolly Parton, this fourth instalment goes a slightly different route by honouring a classic album, and what a record it is: Dusty Springfield’s unforgettable 1969 release ‘Dusty In Memphis.’
Living up to its name as ever, the night features a combination of audio from Paul’s extensive archive together with live interpretations of tracks from the LP by several featured artists. These include the fine singer-songwriters and friends of the Sound Lounge Jana Varga (fresh from the release of her excellent second album ‘Chicory’ and tour dates opening for Rumer) and Hannah Robinson, another frequent SL visitor in Robbie McIntosh’s band, and whose current ‘Holding Up The Sky’ EP we strongly recommend. Hannah has also been on the road recently, singing and playing with the great John Illsley of Dire Straits.
