Brandi Carlile, Mickey Guyton & More To Honor Joni Mitchell At MusiCares Person Of The Year Gala

Just two nights before the Grammy awards telecast, MusiCares will honor Joni Mitchell at the 31st Annual MusiCares Person of the Year benefit gala.

On Jan. 29, Grammy award-winning artists Brandi Carlile, Graham Nash, Herbie Hancock, James Taylor, Leon Bridges, and Pentatonix, as well as Grammy nominees Mickey Guyton, Black Pumas, Jon Batiste, and Maggie Rogers are among the performers for the night’s festivities. Carlile and Batiste will also serve as Artistic Directors for the night.

The tribute will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The night will include a reception and silent auction, followed by a dinner and tribute concert. Artists will pay tribute to some of Mitchell’s most iconic songs, showcasing her talent for inspiring generations of musicians and songwriters.

“We are crafting a once-in-a-lifetime evening in honor of Joni,” says Laura Segura, executive director of MusiCares. “I thank each of these artists for lending their talents to celebrate Joni and her impact on the music community.”

One of the most prestigious events held during Grammy Week, the Person of the Year tribute benefits MusiCares, the leading music charity providing music professionals health and human services across a spectrum of needs.
