These 12 women, known together as Chicks With Dip, represent a collective of female singer/songwriters in the New York City area who enjoy each other’s company and the pleasures of good conversation, good songs, and good dip.  The Chicks will celebrate their tenth anniversary this year.

“The idea for the Blue show sprang up organically at a meeting last summer,” says CAROLANN SOLEBELLO, longtime Chick and former member of female Americana trio RED MOLLY.  “We were discussing Joni Mitchell and what her songwriting has meant to each of us, and since we’re always on the lookout for ways to collaborate, the 40^th anniversary of Joni’s masterpiece seemed the perfect opportunity.” 

Joni Mitchell's Blue: A 40th Anniversary Celebration is now also a full-length recording that revistits that masterpiece in its entirety. WFUV's John Platt calls the project "a wonderful accomplishment," adding: "It's one thing to come up with the idea – in some ways a no-brainer, as in, 'why didn't someone think of that before'. It's something else again to pull it off so well, doing justice to the intricacies of Joni's words and music and the classic beauty of her voice at that moment in time."
