Outpost in the Burbs presents Emily Grove's Joni Jam

originally published: 06/24/2025

(MONTCLAIR, NJ) -- Outpost in the Burbs presents Emily Grove's Joni Jam on Friday, November 14, 2025 at the First Congregational Church in Montclair.  This show celebrates the legendary catalogue of Joni Mitchell's music with an 8-piece band and Emily's pitch perfect interpretation of Joni's unique vocals. Showtime is 8:00pm.

Touching on the full breadth of Mitchell’s works from 1968’s Song to a Seagull to the jazz-tinged records of the mid-1990’s, this band hits every note. This is not a dress-up imitation act, Emily Grove’s Joni Jam is true recreation and representation of these songs and the characters within.

Tickets are $40 and available for purchase online. The First Congregational Church is located at 40 South Fullerton Avenue in Montclair, New Jersey.

In the tradition of great New Jersey artists, Emily Grove attended the esteemed Berklee College of Music and has performed across the globe and on national television.

Emily has toured with and supported British singer-songwriter David Ford throughout the UK, Ireland, US, and Canada as well as headlining her own tour in Germany, Bulgaria, and England.

Emily has written and recorded with David Ford, Glen Burtnik, Steve Forbert, and UK artist Jack Henderson, among many others.

She’s been seen and heard with New Jersey’s own Williams Honor, performed with David Gray on the Today Show, and Social Distortion at the Stone Pony Summer Stage. She’s performed regularly with Glen Burtnik in his expansive productions and toured the country with “Glen Burtnik’s Summer of Love Experience”, “British Invasion”, and various tributes to The Beatles.

Emily continues to perform everywhere showcasing her own original material. Her first EP, Way Across the Sea was produced by Jack Daley, and her most recent full length release, Life of A Commoner, was produced by Seventh Wave Studio. She is currently working on brand new music for a new release.
