TAKE ME AS I AM: A night of JONI MITCHELL

Rainee Lyleson’s one-woman show about Joni Mitchell has been taking Australian audiences by storm. Performing to packed houses at the 2014 National Folk Festival in Canberra and venues around Australia; The Basement, Foundry 616, Venue 505 and Paris Cat. Rainee has toured nationally both in her own right and in the shoes of the famed Canadian songbird.

Take Me As I Am is an intimate concert exploring some of Joni Mitchells most memorable songs and the stories that inspired their creation, from the perspective of none other than the artist herself.

"Rainee plays the role with total commitment to truth: down to the guitar tuning and dulcimer playing. She has a soaring, angelic voice that does Joni Mitchell justice. I almost forgot where I was!" Lauren Lucille, The Music.com.

Audiences are transported back to 1976 and hear of Mitchell’s lost loves , such as James Taylor and Graham Nash, her story of not quite making it to Woodstock and the heartbreaking recount of her baby’s adoption. Coupled with incredible musicianship on classic songs like California, Both Sides Now and A Case of You. This is a show for Mitchell fans and music lovers of any age. "An awe inspiring tribute." - Joy Yates, Singer.
