A MARTÍNEZ, HOST:

Remarkably, she's never performed the award ceremony, and that's about to change. The folk icon will sing at the event for the first time this Sunday. Mitchell also has a chance to add to her trophy case. Her live album "Joni Mitchell In Newport" is up for Best Folk Album.

MITCHELL: (Singing) And we'll wear it till the night comes.
