In Episode 2 of The Road To Joni, host Carmel Holt tells Bonnie that her own road to Joni began with cassettes of Blue and Bonnie’s 1974 album Streetlights. Bonnie talks about redefining what it’s like to have a vital, vibrant artistic career well into your later years and how Judy Collins’ version of “Both Sides Now” sparked her road to Joni. Bonnie shares that her version of “That Song About The Midway” holds a very special meaning for her, including performing the song in Joni’s living room at one of the Joni Jams.

EP2 of the podcast drops Friday, September 13 at https://www.sheroesradio.com/roadtojoni and the radio hour will air across our affiliate radio station network beginning Saturday, September 14.

Bonnie spoke with Stuart Miller at the LA Times about the art of crafting a setlist that will satisfy herself, her band and the audience alike.

With great sadness, we mark the passing of one of the most important people in our activist musicians community, Tom Campbell. For over 50 years, Tom and his wonderful team at Avocado Productions and The Guacamole Fund have organized and produced over 1200 benefit concerts, rallies and receptions for a wide range of wonderful issues from No Nukes, to environmental protection and justice, women’s, human and Native American rights and peace. There is no one who has done more to raise funds and awareness than Tom. I’ve included a link to his obit here so you can appreciate in detail his amazing life and contributions. He was a dear friend and I’ll miss and be grateful for him always. Our sincere condolences go out to his wife Smoky, son Grady and all the family. — Bonnie

So great to get to hang with Nancy Wilson at her lovely home, where we were interviewed for a film about Steve Cropper, one of the greatest guitarists, songwriters and producers of all time. I feel so lucky to call him a friend. Can’t wait to see the film when it’s finished! — Bonnie

Last month, Reverb’s Co-Executive Directors and Founders Lauren Sullivan and Adam Gardner of Guster, reconnected with Bonnie at her concert in Portland, ME. In 2004, Adam and Lauren — concerned about the environmental impact of music tours — decided to make a change for the better. Having heard about Bonnie’s Green Highway campaign, they called Bonnie’s manager to find out more. Bonnie and her manager took Adam and Lauren on as a project of their ARIA Foundation mentoring their start-up until REVERB was able to launch as their own 501c3 organization. We are so proud of the incredible impact REVERB has made on the touring industry over the past 20 years, working with a range of musicians, festivals and venues to engage fans to take environmental and social action.

The Kennedy Center has just announced their 47th class of honorees, and we are thrilled to share that Bonnie will be recognized alongside Francis Ford Coppola, Grateful Dead, Arturo Sandoval and Apollo Theater.

Happy 85th Birthday to my dear ‘big sis,’ Mavis Staples. I cherish every moment we’re together, including your incredible early birthday celebration in LA a couple of months ago. What a blast we had and what a lineup gathered in celebration to honor and adore YOU! Your irrepressible vitality and spirit shine through every song you sing, calling us to keep up the fight for equal rights, freedom and justice for all. You bring us all together in ways no one else can. I send my deep love and warm wishes for many more wonderful years to come. Hope to see you soon!..XX your ‘lil sis,’ Bonnie
