Ladies of the Canyon

The world premiere of Ladies of the Canyon is on stage at Harmony House in Hunter River on select dates until September 6.

With ­Ladies of the Canyon, Alicia Toner and Mike Ross created one of Harmony House’s signature docu-concerts, taking audience members on a deep dive into the music of this unique time and place.

Joni Mitchell, Mama Cass, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Carole King, The Eagles—these are just a handful of the extraordinary songwriters who took up residence in the legendary neighbourhood of Laurel Canyon in California. Located just outside Los Angeles, this artist commune created a musical alchemy that birthed some of the greatest songs and artists of the 20th century. 

Featuring Brielle Ansems, Robin Anne Ettles, Alicia Toner and Emilea May—this distinguished quartet tells the story of this time in music history and celebrate the songs that came out of Laurel Canyon. Young up-and-coming performer Emi Smith will step in to cover various roles on select dates through the summer.
