ONE of the UK's leading creators of new jazz and singer/ songwriter Joanna Eden brings her breath-taking Joni & Friends show to Combeingteignhead Village Hall in South Devon this weekend.

On Saturday (June 7) she will be lovingly recreating Joni's masterpieces alongside some of her own beautiful songs and songs by other great artists who’ve been influenced by Joni including James Taylor, Fleetwood Mac and Bonnie Raitt.

In this 'labour of love' show, audiences join Joanna on a musical journey through the myriad of ideas, textures, themes, voices and emotions songs by Joni and the singer/songwriter generation.

Cambridge based Joanna will also be singing her own song Love’s Children which was written for Combeingeignhead couple Derek and Carole Ambridge for their 50th Wedding Anniversary! It’s become a firm favourite for all of Joanna’s fans as it celebrates the couple’s joie de vivre and playful approach to life.

Alongside acclaimed bassist and guitarist Andrés Lafone and leading pianist/guitarist Chris Ingham, Eden lovingly interprets and reimagines iconic songs like ‘Both Sides Now, Woodstock and Big Yellow Taxi’. Audiences can expect to catch glimpses of a singer-songwriter in her element!

Joanna sang a duet with Sam Smith at their 2024 Prom at London’s iconic Royal Albert Hall last year but she is equally thrilled to be performing in Combe.

“Combe feels like a second home to me now after over a decade of singing here and getting to know the wonderful community!” she said.

It’s such a warm-hearted place - you will leave the concert feeling uplifted by beautiful music and beautiful people!!”
