Join us for an unforgettable evening as award-winning artists Lynn Veronneau and Ken Avis of Veronneau and Munit Mesfin pay homage to the iconic music of Joni Mitchell, Carole King, and Roberta Flack. Veronneau will present timeless tracks from Joni Mitchell’s Blue and Carole King’s Tapestry, while Munit Mesfin, with Aleks Isotov on piano and Grant Lee on bass, offers a heartfelt tribute to Roberta Flack. 

Veronneau defies categorization, blending jazz, folk, and pop styles in a mesmerizing performance. The duo—vocalist Lynn Veronneau, originally from Quebec, and UK guitarist Ken Avis—captivate audiences with Lynn’s enchanting voice, impeccable harmonies, and Ken’s masterful guitar work. Their storytelling and artistry breathe new life into the classic songs of Joni Mitchell and Carole King, creating a fresh and intimate concert experience.

Munit Mesfin is an Ethiopian-American singer, songwriter, and producer known as a trailblazer of the Ethio-Soul movement. She combines jazz improvisation, reggae rhythms, and soulful melodies in a style uniquely her own. Influenced by artists like Girma Beyene, Miriam Makeba, Bob Marley, and Chaka Khan, Munit also has a deep admiration for Roberta Flack. Growing up immersed in her parents’ collection of jazz, soul, and blues recordings, she became “obsessed” with Roberta Flack’s best-selling First Take album. Years later, she performed several of Roberta’s songs at Mr. Henry’s where Flack’s career was launched. Soon after, Munit premiered her Roberta Flack tribute concert, hosted by Ken Avis at Creative Cauldron, and then had the honor of performing for Roberta in her New York City apartment.

Also featured will be a dance piece to Roberta Flack’s Tryin’ Times, choreographed by Jessica Brown, and performed by members of Alchemy Ballet Company. 

Don't miss out on the opportunity to experience this soulful and uplifting celebration of Roberta Flack, Joni Mitchell, and Carole King with Veronneau and Munit Mesfin!

The event is presented by Artists in Motion and Alchemy Ballet, with support from ArtsFairfax.
