Saturday night, Joni Mitchell played her first Los Angeles show in 28 years at the Hollywood Bowl. Like her 2022 surprise set at Newport Folk Festival and her 2023 headlining gig at the Gorge Amphitheater, the legendary singer-songwriter was joined by her rotating cast of backing band members known as the Joni Jam. This go around, the band included Brandi Carlile, Fleet Foxes’ Robin Pecknold, Annie Lennox, Dawes’ Taylor Goldsmith, Marcus Mumford, Blake Mills, Jon Batiste, Jacob Collier, Allison Russell, Lucius, Abe Rounds, Celisse, Phil and Tim Hanseroth, Sista Strings, and Rita Wilson. Together, they performed some songs Mitchell hadn’t done live in decades.
Joni was also joined onstage at her Joni Jam concerts by Annie Lennox, Jon Batiste, Blake Mills, Robin Pecknold, Marcus Mumford, Celisse, Taylor Goldsmith, Lucius, Allison Russell, and more.
Dawes has seen some attrition in the two years since the release of Misadventures Of Doomscroller, the consummate band album that played to every member’s strengths. While the departures of bassist Wylie Gelber and keyboardist Lee Pardini may have come as a shock to fans, both were amicable if not inevitable. Either way, it’s left founding sibs Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith to carve out a new direction for Dawes—one that sounds awfully familiar on the new Oh Brother (HUB). Recording the album themselves with help from producer/multi-instrumentalist Mike Viola and touring guitarist Trevor Menear, the Goldmiths sound very much like Dawes, which is a good thing. A bit of a grower, Oh Brother ultimately reveals itself as a cleverly constructed, slightly mischievous companion piece to 2020’s song-focused Good Luck With Whatever, only occasionally veering off into Misadventure’s more experimental back alleys.
