The 78-year-old singer-songwriter surprised attendees at the Newport Folk Festival when she performed alongside country star Brandi Carlile.

Joni Mitchell delivered her first full set in more than 20 years this weekend, surprising attendees at the Newport Folk Festival alongside country star Brandi Carlile.

Both moments marked rare public appearances for the trailblazing Mitchell, who in 2015 suffered a brain aneurysm that left her temporarily unable to speak, the aftermath of which has involved extensive physical therapy. The revolutionary singer-songwriter earlier this year was honored as MusiCares' Person of the Year at the charity gala that precedes the Grammys, where she gave a brief performance.

Born in a small town in western Canada, Mitchell had her start playing small clubs and eventually moved to Los Angeles, where she became a pivotal figure in the 1960s Laurel Canyon music scene and beyond.
