Sat November 8 '08 - Cohenheads
submitted by Steve
Back in June, I took part in a Leonard Cohen tribute at the Montreal Jazz Festival. The audience was huge, thousands and thousands of people outside of the Place des Arts watching a whole bunch of us sing these Master Songs. They filmed it. I think I might have made the cut, but I have no idea which song they used, if any. The info on YouTube says I'm in it, so it must be true, right? Anyway, it's on CBC this Sunday night at 9pm. Hope you have a chance to check it out.

well, i forgot to link to the Canwest Festival site, so I reposted the last blog. So now you have it twice. Plus this apology. I'm sorry. Hope it was even better the second time.

So the Seneca Niagara show was kick-ass. So nice to see so many familiar faces, and to play so many unfamiliar songs! We've really been energized by reaching back into the catalog to pull out some more obscure songs to play - it keeps us on our toes. Evidence of which is audible on the cheap downloads of the Casino Rama shows we've put up on the werkshop site, and the Niagara show should be up soon. Hope you enjoy listening as much as we did playing!
Speaking of playing - seriously, come out to this Canwest Cabaret Festival this weekend. The venue is intimate and there are lots of great artists playing. I'll be doing a couple of solo sets as well as these Leonard Cohen Songbook shows featuring me, Patricia O'Callaghan, Sarah Slean, Maryam Toller and Mary Margaret O'Hara.
I'll be hanging out for much of the weekend, so please come by and say hello. And register your requests! I'm thinking of busting out some new songs if I can memorize them in time... as if memorizing songs has ever been much of a priority for me!
