Keith James
The Songs of Leonard Cohen
‘Some of the most atmospheric and emotive music you will ever hear’
The Independent
Enigmatic, mysterious and sub textural, songwriter Leonard Cohen was an unflinching character, with an exact sense of prose, wry humour and the courage to wrestle with the unspoken, forgiving human frailty with the stroke of each line.
His music befriended an entire generation; Challenging us to listen more carefully, think more deeply and recognize our own fragility. He has left the richest legacy of any Songwriter.
With a lifetime reputation of performing in this exact way and an undying love of the ‘pure song’ Keith James gives you a concert of Cohen’s amazing material in the most intimate and sensitive way imaginable, exposing the solitary inner strength of his greatest songs: Famous Blue Raincoat, Sisters of Mercy, Suzanne, and Hallelujah.
