Hejira is a formidable, highly successful 7-piece touring band, set up in 2023 to celebrate the ‘greatest songs’ of Joni Mitchell. 

They have, in their short history, played more than 120 shows in the UK and Ireland, including headline features at The EFG London Jazz Festival; Musicport World-Music Festival; Brecon Jazz Festival; Mosely Folk Festival; Lincoln Jazz Festival; Scarborough Jazz Festival; Oxford Festival of the Arts; Salisbury International Arts Festival; Buxton International Festival.

The band is fronted by the extraordinarily talented Jana Varga, who not only sings masterfully with Joni’s pitch-accuracy, poise, and dignity, but also plays guitar much with the mannerisms of Mitchell. She is an exceptional musician, who initially studied classical music to a very high level, but also immersed herself in folk, jazz and rock genres. Jana is an outstanding songwriter and has had a close working relationship (touring and recording) with the platinum-selling artist, Rumer.

For this brand new concert, the band will perform the masterpiece works that Mitchell recorded from Court & Spark to Wild Things Run Fast; expect to hear such classics as Amelia, Help Me, Hejira, Song For Sharon, A Case Of You, Free Man In Paris, Coyote, Hissing of Summer Lawns plus many more.
