Critically acclaimed songwriting duo Zervas & Pepper have announced their 2026 tour for ‘This Flight Tonight – The Songs of
Joni Mitchell.’
Following over 100 sold-out performances across the UK and Ireland—including landmark shows at Cadogan Hall, Snape Maltings,
and Celtic Connections—the five-piece acoustic tribute band will feature a comprehensive performance of Mitchell’s iconic 1971
album,Blue.
Widely regarded as the jewel in the crown of the Laurel Canyon sound, Blue remains a masterpiece of emotional honesty. Rather
than a loose reinterpretation, Zervas & Pepper treat the performance as a faithful, respectful recital of masterworks. The production
meticulously channels the inner spirit of Mitchell’s pivotal 1968–1976 Reprise/Asylum Records era, keeping the open-tuned
acoustic and electric guitars, dulcimer, piano, harmonies, congas, bass, and vocals front and centre.
The carefully crafted setlist travels from Joni’s intimate folk-club roots into her expansive full-band era, featuring cuts from millionselling albums Song To A Seagull, Clouds, Ladies of the Canyon, For The Roses, Court and Spark, Hissing of Summer
Lawns, and Hejira, alongside the full performance of Blue.
The show has garnered high praise from folk and rock legends. The late David Crosby lauded the performance as featuring “fne
singing,” while BBC broadcasting legends Bob Harris and Mark Radclife described the tribute as “beautiful” and “sublime,”
respectively.
