Multi-award-winning vocalist, pianist, songwriter and CBC national radio host Laila Biali is thrilled to debut her brand-new tribute project, Joni Mitchell & the Canadian Songbook - a memorable evening filled with reimagined covers of our country's musical icons.
Audiences will be treated to fresh takes on Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, K.D. Lang and prairie royalty, Joni Mitchell. Come experience why the Washington Post hails Biali for her unique ability to "masterfully mix jazz and pop", interweaving your favourite Canadian classics with playful anecdotes and heartwarming stories.
Laila Biali has headlined festivals and venues spanning five continents from New York City's Carnegie Hall to Beijing's National Centre for the Performing Arts and supported international icon Sting. In 2020, Laila was honoured by SOCAN Music with the Hagood Hardy Award for Excellence in Song writing. In 2019, Laila’s eponymous release won her a JUNO for Vocal Jazz Album of the Year. The year prior, she was awarded top prize at the Canadian Song writing Competition in the jazz category. Laila was also the youngest-ever double winner at Canada’s National Jazz Awards when she was named SOCAN Composer of the Year and Keyboardist of the Year. She received her first JUNO nomination for Tracing Light (2011), DownBeat Magazine's Best Albums of the Year for Live in Concert(2013) and Out of Dust (2020). In September of 2017, Laila was brought on as the host for CBC Music's national radio show, Saturday Night Jazz, a weekly show broadcast to listeners across Canada.
