“River…the Music of Carole King, Joni Mitchell & Carly Simon” is a nostalgic and magical evening filled with the biggest hits from these three amazing singer/songwriters, performed by three dynamic vocalists, with lush vocal harmonies and a stellar band — including an amazing saxophonist!

Carole King, Joni Mitchell and Carly Simon: Three legendary songwriters whose hits were performed by some of the biggest artists of the ’60s and ’70s. “River” pays tribute to the songs they wrote and performed.

While these artists have an extensive list of works, “River” will focus on their most popular pieces … songs that take the audience on a nostalgic journey, remembering the women’s music movement of the ’60s and ’70s and their own prom, first kiss, wedding, heartaches, and other life experiences.

The audience will hear songs such as “You’re So Vain,” and “Nobody Does it Better,” performed by Carly Simon, “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow,” and “Natural Woman,” by Carole King, and “Help Me,” and “Both Sides Now,” by Joni Mitchell.

With very little history of performing together and not necessarily close friends, these three great songwriters shared many similarities that changed the music industry, especially for women. All three had domineering mothers, difficult family decisions and intense relationships with men, yet through the decades they continued to craft timeless songs that stay with us today.

“River” brings the songs, stories and memories together on one stage. Three top Twin Cities singers – Rachel Holder, Deb Brown and Jana Anderson – pay tribute to the legendary songs writers. Backed by an amazing band, “River” is a vocal tribute that is unforgettable.
