Even on a day when much of America was hoping to see the sun go out, there’s still an ongoing need to hear someone sing “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me.” That, among many other things, is what’s offered in tonight’s PBS broadcast of a tribute special for Elton John and Bernie Taupin, two of the worthiest talents ever to be awarded the Library of Congress’ Gershwin Prize. If you’re a fan — and who isn’t?, as they say — the two-hour show will provide a total eclipse of all your other most pressing entertainment needs.
Three words: “Joni Mitchell” and “Metallica.” If this salute never moved out of the M’s, it would be worthy enough just based on those two highlights alone, neither of whom probably seemed like the likeliest Elton interpreter. But there they are, on the very same bingo card.

Brandi Carlile will be stopping by Sesame Street on Thursday to help Big Bird and Mr. Snuffleupagus, also known as Snuffy, celebrate all things nature.
In an exclusive clip from the episode, which teaches kids about the environment, Carlile explains that “Nature is all around us, it’s everything around us not made by people.” To help her two friends learn more about what Earth is all about, the singer dives into a catchy song as the trio travels through different landscapes — from green rolling hills to fields of flowers.

There’s a reason why you flock to Gold Derby, and I’m guessing a big part of it is you live to participate in predicting and handicapping the various Hollywood races. We love awards, and not just because it’s fun to test our skill at prognostication. It’s also because we love the ceremony and the pomp and the whole shebang. We dore the presentation and the speeches, the performances, the sense of history, the occasional electricity. And we would never think to miss the Oscars, the Emmys, the Golden Globes, the SAGs, the Grammys, because every once in a while, something truly magical happens at one of these shows that serves to elevate our existence for having shared in it.
The kind of magic that happened on Sunday night. Watch the video above.

Los Angeles, Feb 5 (Ians) Music legend Joni Mitchell performed at the 66th edition of the Grammy Awards. She sang ‘Both Sides Now’ for her performance debut on the telecast.
‘Both Sides Now’ had some resonance as a performance pick for the Grammys. Her very first Grammy Award 55 years ago, back in 1969, was for the ‘Clouds’ album, on which ‘Both Sides Now’ appeared, reports Variety.
Joni Mitchell performed the song in the format that has brought her back to the stage on just a few occasions since she recovered from a 2015 brain aneurysm: it was done “Joni Jam”style, with the singer-songwriter seated on a comfortable-looking throne with her recent trademark cane, surrounded by similarly seated all-star accompanists — in this case, Brandi Carlile, Allison Russell, Jacob Collier, Lucius, Sista Strings and Blake Mills.
As per Variety, the performance followed an emotional moment at the pre-telecast Premiere Ceremony when Mitchell won yet another Grammy,...

Joni Mitchell made her debut Grammys performance at the age of 80, singing her classic song “Both Sides Now” onstage at the 2024 awards show.
For the moving performance, Mitchell was seated in a chair and held a cane as she was accompanied by a line of musicians on, appropriately, both sides of her, including Lucius, SistaStrings, Jacob Collier, Allison Russell, Blake Mills and Brandi Carlile, who introduced Mitchell.
Mitchell began the performance with her back to the audience. The chair slowly turned around so she was facing the crowd near the beginning of the performance.

Joni Mitchell has made her Grammy Awards performance debut, taking the stage alongside the likes of Brandi Carlile, Jacob Collier, Allison Russell, Lucius, Blake Mills, and more for a truly show-stopping rendition of “Both Sides Now” at Sunday night’s (February 4th) ceremony.
The performance began with an intro speech by Carlile, who described Mitchell as “one of the most influential and emotionally-generous creators in human history.” Celebrating her intimate, vulnerable approach to songwriting, Carlile praised Mitchell as a pioneer, saying that she’s like “the first person to strip down at the skinny dipping party and take that awkward, terrifying leap before everyone else eventually joyfully follows.” Putting things into a bigger perspective, Carlile reflected to the audience that history “will remember that we lived in the time of Joni Mitchell.”
Then, the camera cut to Mitchell singing “Both Sides Now” from a grand white chair on a stage decorated by candelabras.

In honor of the late Robbie Robertson, whose “Killers of the Flower Moon” score was his final work, Martin Scorsese hosted a private tribute concert Wednesday in Los Angeles that had guests including Joni Mitchell, Leonardo DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone watching Jackson Browne and other musicians perform Robertson’s songs as well as score excerpts.
The tribute to Robertson — who died on Aug. 9 at age 80 — took place before 200 invited guests at the composer’s longtime recording-studio home, the Village Studios in West L.A.

Brandi Carlile played her final concert of the year at the Hollywood Bowl on Saturday night, and she was joined by a number of surprise guests including Joni Mitchell.

A version of this story about “Daisy Jones & the Six” music supervisor Frankie Pine first appeared in the Down to the Wire: Drama and Limited Series issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
The music came first. Before actors were hired and before directors and designers and crew members came on board, “Daisy Jones & the Six,” the limited series from Amazon’s Prime Video, hired music supervisor Frankie Pine, who brought in a list of music producers that included songwriter-producer Blake Mills. Pine got the job, Mills got the job and the production got to work creating the rock milieu of late 1960s through late 1970s Los Angeles.
“We wanted to make sure that ‘Daisy Jones & the Six’ fit within that time period,” Pine said. “We wanted our music to stand out on its own, but we also wanted it to stay within the palette of that time. I wanted...

When Kim Davis-Wagner and Justine Arteta signed on to cast the television adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s blockbuster rock ’n’ roll novel Daisy Jones & The Six, they knew they were up against the pressure of re-creating the magic of a beloved piece of IP — but they were also up against A Star Is Born. The Lady Gaga-starring musical drama hit theaters in 2018, and the industry was still captivated with the idea of seeing pop stars on the big screen. “The thinking was, there have to be other musicians [like Lady Gaga] who could be that good at acting,” says Arteta. “We knew that was possible, but really rare.”
Instead, the duo — who have been working together for over 30 years, getting their start in music videos before cutting their teeth on features like Never Been Kissed and Being John Malkovich — followed their instincts straight to Riley Keough. The actress (who is...

Novel-turned-Prime Video series Daisy Jones & the Six is about a fictional 1970s rock band, but anyone familiar with music history could guess the musical drama is based on the tumultuous career of Fleetwood Mac. Even Stevie Nicks agrees, as she has now given the show her stamp of approval.
“Just finished watching @daisyjonesand6 for the 2nd time. In the beginning, it wasn’t really my story, but Riley seamlessly, soon became my story,” Nicks wrote. “It brought back memories that made me feel like a ghost watching my own story.

Stevie Nicks is sharing her praise for Daisy Jones & The Six, months after the Emmy-nominated series premiered.
Though author Taylor Jenkins Reid, who wrote the book that the Prime Video series was adapted from, has previously said the novel is not strictly based on Fleetwood Mac, she has admitted that she drew inspiration from the renowned rock band. During an interview with Penguin Books UK in 2019, Reid said she “started with the germ of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham and Fleetwood Mac,” but also researched many other ‘70s singers and bands.
Even before the show’s release, fans have been quick to point out parallels between Fleetwood Mac and Daisy Jones & The Six, including each of the band’s members and romantic pairings. Particularly, similarities were noted between Nicks and Daisy Jones (Riley Keough), as well as keyboardist Christine McVie and Karen Sirko (Suki Waterhouse). Now, Nicks has taken to...

The fictional band Daisy Jones & the Six have made waves in the real music industry since the release of Daisy Jones & the Six, the Prime Video adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel of the same name. The cast took the band’s album, Aurora, from the page to the recording studio to function as the show’s official soundtrack. Now, one of the songs from the record, the pivotal “Let Me Down Easy,” has been revamped and reimagined by Demi Lovato.

Blake Mills has the kind of CV, and accompanying reputation, that leaves little to quibble with. The 36-year-old Los Angeles musician is an ace producer (Perfume Genius, Feist, Marcus Mumford); an in-demand sideman and session player (Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Phoebe Bridgers); and an exceptional singer-songwriter in his own right. But there’s one notion people have about him that Mills finds baffling: That “I’m this extremely capable guitarist who never allows himself to play.”
In other words, Mills doesn’t like to shred. Whether or not it’s accurate,...

Three weeks from the release of his new album Jelly Road, guitarist/producer/songwriter Blake Mills has dropped his latest single “There Is No Now. ”
Accompanied by a music video, “There Is No Now” starts with folky-tinged guitar plucks before hitting a jazzier groove about halfway through the track, with Mills crooning about how “time unfolding is a trick.”
The song follows Jelly Road’s first single “Skeleton is Walking.” Mills has kept busy ahead of the release, playing with Joni Mitchell at her first ticketed concert in more than...

We’ve all made the “Cop Rock” jokes. The Steven Bochco musical drama, which premiered in fall 1990, was a big swing: marrying original music with procedural storytelling. It was a colossal flop that we still talk about three decades later, and a reminder that musicals are hard.
Music has been a part of the TV landscape going back to the 1950s and shows like “Your Hit Parade.” But few series have successfully integrated regular music performances into their storytelling: “The Monkees” and “The Partridge Family” worked in the 1960s and ’70s. “Fame” did it in the early ’80s. And then “Cop Rock” scared people off the concept.
The 1990s animation boom incorporated music in shows like “The Simpsons” and “Animaniacs.” But not until the 21st century did scripted series really figure out how to make musical numbers work as part of the narrative. “Flight of the Conchords” did it with satiric tracks,...

A version of this story about Scott Neustadter and “Daisy Jones and the Six” first appeared in the Limited Series/Movies issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
Scott Neustadter wasn’t born when the rock ‘n’ roll scene depicted in “Daisy Jones & the Six” was taking place in Los Angeles in the late 1960s through the mid ’70s, and neither were most of the cast and creators of the limited series on Amazon’s Prime Video. But Neustadter and his writing partner Michael H. Weber, who’d written “500 Days of Summer,” “The Spectacular Now” and “The Disaster Artist” before they developed “Daisy Jones,” had to become experts in the era they recreated for the series based on Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel.
Did they get it all right? Of course not. (Read on for some nit-picking from somebody who is old enough to have been there.) But for the most part,...

Daisy Jones & The Six star Sam Claflin arrived at his final audition to play fictional 1970s rock star Billy Dunne without, by his own admission, the strongest grasp on the type of musician he was expected to embody.
His future showrunners had already taken a shine to the dimpled British actor, as had music supervisor Frankie Pine and producer Hello Sunshine’s president Lauren Neustadter, but one last hurdle remained before he could land the male lead in Amazon’s hot adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s novel of the same name. He had to sing live for the project’s music producers, Blake Mills and Tony Berg. Pine gave Claflin a shot of moonshine to soothe his nerves. The actor entered the storied halls of Sound City Studios, the Van Nuys building where Mick Fleetwood first met Lindsey Buckingham, and proceeded to kind of blow it. “I had prepared Elton John’s ‘Your Song,...

Joni Mitchell has been one of the most honored musicians of this century. She’s picked up honors from the Kennedy Center, Library of Congress, the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song, and an honorary degree from the Berklee College of Music.
But something was missing. Save for a surprise set at the 2022 Newport Folk Festival, you could’t buy a ticket to a Joni Mitchell concert.
That changed Saturday night, as the 79-year-old Mitchell returned to the stage at the Gorge Amphitheater in Quincy, Washington. The momentous occasion was marked by guest performances by Annie Lennox, Brandi Carlile, Blake Mills, Lucius, Sarah McLachlan, Marcus Mumrod, Celisse, and Taylor Goldsmith in an ensemble performance dubbed the “Joni Jam.”
Twitter was ablaze with multiple videos from the concert.

With the assistance of Carlile and a bevy of guest musicians, Mitchell presented a 24-song performance that featured some of her most enduring hits. She kicked off the show with “Big Yellow Taxi” from Ladies of the Canyon. Marcus Mumford accompanied her on “Come in From the Cold,” and Blake Mills sat it on “Amelia.”

Will there be a Daisy Jones & The Six live show?
Josh Whitehouse, who plays Eddie Roundtree, the passionate bassist of the band in the hit Prime Video series “Daisy Jones & The Six”, took to TikTok on Thursday, teasing a band rehearsal.
“Just arrived at a rehearsal studio to have a band practice with Daisy Jones & The Six,” Whitehouse says in the video before dramatically taking off his sunglasses, adding, “but we already finished the TV show.”
“So why would we be doing that?” he teased, looking directly into the camera.

Is Daisy Jones & The Six a cliché of ‘70s rock’n’roll, or a fresh reimagination of the novel of the same title? Critics are split, but for country artist Maren Morris, the series gets a few key things right. The Prime Video limited series follows the rise and fall of a fictional band modeled after Fleetwood Mac.
Daisy (Riley Keough) is a troubled aspiring star with a knack for songwriting. Frontman Billy Dunne (Sam Claflin) is seeking to redeem himself when he and The Six are stiff-armed into collaborating with Daisy, who eventually joins the band. The collaboration of Daisy’s lyrical prowess and stage presence combined with Billy’s magnetism and drive to overcome his demons create a powder keg of emotion that is enthralling, if a bit predictable.

The world and music of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s best-selling novel “Daisy Jones & The Six,” including album “Aurora,” has come to life. Fronted by band members Daisy Jones (Riley Keough) and Billy Dunne (Sam Claflin), “Daisy Jones & The Six” is now a TV series on Amazon Prime Video, but bringing the show to life meant that the songs that make the titular group a hit needed to actually be written.
Yes, that’s Claflin and Keough really singing in the show, but each song on the album “Aurora” has a stacked list of well-known songwriters.
All the songs in “Daisy Jones & The Six” were either written or co-written by Blake Mills, who also produced the album.
Co-writers include Marcus Mumford, Chris Weisman, Phoebe Bridgers, Jackson Browne, Z Berg, Jason Boesel, Matt Sweeney, Cass McCombs, Ali Tamposi, James Valentine, Barbara Gruska, Ethan Gruska, Stephony Smith, Jonathan Rice, Joe Keefe,...

Marcus Mumford and Maren Morris have officially boarded the Daisy Jones & The Six hype train. The two singer-songwriters have joined forces for a rendition of “Look at Us Now (Honeycomb),” a highlight from the new series’ soundtrack. It’s out now exclusively via Amazon Music.
Mumford actually co-wrote “Look at Us Now” — sung by stars Riley Keough and Sam Claflin in the show — along with Grammy winner Blake Mills, whose studio credits also include Bob Dylan, Fiona Apple, Alabama Shakes, John Legend, and Perfume Genius to name a few. The ballad aims to be a dose of ’70s rock, an aesthetic that suits Mumford and Morris’ voices well.
“Blake and I wrote ‘Look at Us Now (Honeycomb)’ together – with a bit of help – about a year and a half ago for Daisy Jones & The Six,” Mumford explains in a press release. “This time around, we stripped the song right...

For Marcus Mumford, getting involved with the original music for “Daisy Jones & the Six” was a matter of being in the right place at the right time.
The Mumford & Sons frontman was working at L.A.’s Sound City Studios on his solo record with multi-instrumentalist and producer Blake Mills — who co-wrote and executive produced all 25 songs heard in the Prime Video series, which chronicles the rise and fall of a ’70s rock band — when Mills asked if he wanted to help write a tune for the show.
“It was a slower day for my record and Blake was like, ‘Look, do you wanna try this thing for Daisy?'” Mumford tells Variety. “And I often think that… writing begets more writing. If you’re able to flex a similar muscle in a different way, then it can often help the writing you have in front of you as well.

“Daisy Jones & the Six” has arrived. Fans of the bestselling Taylor Jenkins Reid novel of the same name have been anxiously awaiting Amazon Prime Video’s TV series adaptation of the book, and the story of this fictional 1970s rock band is unfolding over a number of weeks on the streaming service.
The story is one told in a grand flashback, as members of the titular band sit down for a documentary about their rise (and fall?) and the show then presents the story as it happened back in the ’70s. The book is a full-on oral history, but in the TV series, what we see is what actually happened – not peoples’ own versions of events – so we witness how Sam Claflin’s rocker Billy Dunne reluctantly allows aspiring songwriter and performer Daisy Jones (Riley Keough) to work on one of The Six’s songs.

Daisy Jones & The Six continues gaining popularity as the limited series releases new episodes on Prime Video throughout March. One of the essential elements of the series is the music performed by the Dunne Brothers, The Six, and finally, Daisy Jones & The Six. However, in Taylor Jenkins Reid’s interpretation of the music created by this fictional 1970s band, many of the tunes are vastly different. Here’s how the lyrics of “Honeycomb” differ from the bestselling book.

“Aurora,” the once fictional album imagined by Taylor Jenkins Reid in her best-selling novel “Daisy Jones & the Six” has come to life with 11 of the 25 original songs written for Prime Video’s TV show adaptation. Blake Mills and Tony Berg reimagined songs Reid listed in the back of her book for “Aurora,” enlisting collaborators like Marcus Mumford, Phoebe Bridgers and more to write and record the album.
But in addition to the original Daisy Jones & the Six songs, classic 70s rock and roll hits like Carole King’s “I Feel the Earth Move” and The Byrds’ “Goin’ Back” set the scene for the collision of Daisy Jones and rock band The Six, who rocket to fame together, echoing the dynamic of Fleetwood Mac, Civil Wars and The Eagles to name a few.

Adapted from Reid’s New York Times bestseller, the show mixes documentary-style footage and flashbacks to follow the rise and fall of a band first called The Dunne Brothers — lead singer Billy and guitarist Graham Dunne (Will Harrison), bassist Eddie Roundtree (Josh Whitehouse) and drummer Warren Rojas (Sebastian Chacon) — later named The Six after two women — keyboardist Karen Sirko (Suki Waterhouse) and Billy’s girlfriend Camila (Camila Morrone) join the team.
Keough told TheWrap how she drew a sense of “childlike wonder” from a real-life letter that singer Janis Joplin wrote to her family. That correspondence helped Keough, the granddaughter of Elvis Presley, add...
