Kate Blechinger’s debut album, “Under a Dancing Sky,” pays tribute to the Canadian prairies, as well as Joni Mitchell’s influence on her as an artist. Her performance showcases a mixture of original music and arrangements of Joni Mitchell’s material from this album. Her songs explore themes of female empowerment, reframing emotionality, and her experiences as a woman in a male dominated industry.
