Program Description

Event Details

In this heartfelt and moving tribute to Laura Nyro, one of the greatest and most covered songwriters of the 20th century, Christine and Elliot Spero take the listener on an unforgettable journey through some of Laura’s most memorable songs like “And When I Die", "Eli's Coming", "Stoned Soul Picnic" and "Wedding Bell Blues".  Let them also take you on a sojourn of some of the music of Joni Mitchell, an equally important and influential recording artist of the late 20th century.  With songs like  “Both Sides Now”, "Big Yellow Taxi", “The Circle Game” and "Help Me".  Joni said of Laura, " I'm sick of being lumped in with the women. Laura Nyro you can lump me in with, because Laura exerted an influence on me. I looked to her and took some direction from her. On account of her I started playing piano again."
