Eight-time Grammy winner Joni Mitchell has been chosen as the 2022 MusiCares Person of the Year.

The MusiCares Person of the Year tribute ceremony will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center on January 29, 2022.

Mitchell will be honored for her musical contributions as well as for her “trailblazing spirit and the inspiration she’s brought to so many artists,” said Laura Segura, Executive Director of MusiCares.

The ceremony is one of the most prestigious events held during Grammy Week. It includes a reception and silent auction, offering an exclusive selection of one-of-a-kind items for bidding guests, followed by a dinner and tribute concert, featuring renowned musicians and other artists paying tribute to Mitchell.

The tribute concert lineup will be announced soon.

Mitchell said she is honored to be chosen as Person of the Year, adding, “I look forward to being part of this gala that will help MusiCares continue their inspired work in providing a support system for those in need.”
