“The UK’s best and most convincing take on Joni Mitchell” ~ The Guardian

Hejira is a formidable, highly successful 7-piece touring band, set up in 2023 to celebrate the ‘greatest songs’ of Joni Mitchell. Since late 2025, they have been drawing from a pool of 3 outstanding singers/guitarists: Hattie Whitehead, Jana Varga and Immy Churchill.

In particular, the band performs 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’ etc..

The band has produced 12 high-quality videos for Youtube, amassing more than 1,500,000 views and garnering thousands of glowing comments.
