Award-winning band Veronneau perform the music of two iconic women, from the iconic albums - Joni Mitchell's "Blue" & Carole King's "Tapestry".

Unforgettable songs, beautifully interpreted; songs which are part of America's musical DNA, such as "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow", "I Feel the Earth Move Under My Feet", "River", "Carey", "You've Got A Friend".
