Happy Birthday to the queen herself, Joni Mitchell. 👑 Tonight on SNJ we celebrate Joni alongside other brilliant artists, share new music and heartwarming stories. Join me across Canada via @CBCMusic & @CBCRadioCanada at 8 pm. PS. Today is also the one-year anniversary of my first #GRAMMY nomination. I’ll never forget it.

Unfortunately, it's been less than a week and we've already failed no Nickelback November 😔 The week's best new 🇨🇦 music is a Nickelback-free zone... why would we deceive you? Spotify: open.spotify.com/playlist/4U… Apple Music: music.apple.com/ca/playlist/…

Elliot Roberts accepted an invitation to the Cafe Au Go Go on October 26, 1967 to watch a young Joni Mitchell open for Ian & Sylvia and Howard Hesseman. It was the beginning of a partnership. He soon became her manager, and a few months later, she would sign her first record contract with Reprise Records. Performance of “Little Green” live at Cafe Au Go Go as featured in ‘Village Voices,’ broadcast in 1991.

What a beautiful few days in Alberta. It was such a treat to present our Canadian Songbook project at Alberta Showcase (thanks @ArtsTouring + @GennyDeMerchant), and then I got to swing by the @ckuaradio studios for a hang with @GrantStovel. And in the middle of it all, my hubs Ben went to @MacEwanU to record the brilliant Audrey Ochoa as a guest on Dreamland. More photos from the weekend coming soon! But first, time to get back home. ✈️

This is my favourite time of year, and this was one of my all-time favourite weekends spent with Martha, Ben & Josh. October 2017: Autumn in Vermont, the state where Ben was born and raised with Josh & I experiencing it for the first time. We drove through Quebec on our way back home, another favourite place. Harvest blessings to all! 🍁 #autumn
