Somehow it was his first time appearing at Newport Folk.

And Joni Mitchell was a surprise guest on Brandi Carliles set.

PortlandPress Heraldreporter Aimsel Ponti caught Carlile and Mitchell singing together to Mitchells A Case of You.

It was unexpected, as Mitchell rarely performs nowadays.

Until this year, she hadnt performed since 2013 and her last full live set was in 2002.

Now shes done two gigs with Carlile singing backup.

In April, she sang Big Yellow Taxiwhen she was named Person of the Year by Musicares.

I just realised, Jonis the least nervous person up here, Carlile said on stage, perThe Guardian.

Carlile is always one to pay respects to her elders.
