Wed Mar. 15 at 9PM on WKAR-HD 23.1 & STREAMING | Joni Mitchell receives the 2023 Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song.

After getting her start in coffee shops Joni Mitchell went on to set a new standard, marrying music and lyrics with such songs as “Both Sides, Now.” While her early material is often categorized as “folk,” she became a household name with music that defies categorization.

This special is available to watch live during its airdate on the WKAR Livestream.
