Big Yellow Taxi  
New England's premier Joni Mitchell tribute band  

Big Yellow Taxi is a one-of-a-kind musical experience. There is no other ensemble playing the music of Joni Mitchell with the dedication and imagination that BYT brings to every show. Created to explore Joni's amazing music from its early folk roots to her pop masterpieces to her jazz-influenced compositions, Big Yellow Taxi brings Joni's music alive.

The band features the expressive and soaring voice of Teresa Lorenço. Teresa's vocals pay homage to Joni's sweet, husky, and bell-like voice, delivering an emotional journey through Joni's expansive catalog.

The mission of the band is to present a show that immerses the audience in an intimate journey through many of Joni's best-loved and most powerful songs: a performance beyond mere imitation, to delve into Joni’s musical intensity and genius, to leave audiences entertained, moved, and elated.

Big Yellow Taxi began performing together in 2021 and is based in the Northampton, MA area. The band is led by vocalist Teresa Lorenço and percussion, and features John Cabán on Guitars and vocals, Robert Sherwood on Keyboards, vocals, and bass, Joe Fitzpatrick on drums and percussion, and Rich Cahillane on Bass and Guitar.
