Assembly Hall, Rainy Hall

Accompanied by guitar, drums, piano, vocals and accordion, D'Arrietta provides a gutsy and arresting interpretation of Cohen's powerful works, framed by a personal narrative. His stories, providing insight into Cohen's motivations and served with trademark laconic humour, punctuate a tribute that's deferential but not obsequious.

Few bodies of musical work rouse, seduce and are of such great solace as that of the great singer songwriter Leonard Cohen. Soulful lyrics laced with raw emotion have spurred many to lay claim to his songs as part of their personal soundtracks.

Expect a collection of Cohen's best, including the heartrending Suzanne, the iconic Tower Of Song, the desperately sensual I’m Your Man, and the mournful, but mighty Hallelujah - all delivered as you've never heard them before.

For two decades, Stewart D'Arrietta and his collaborators have brought their own musical personality to the works of great songwriters, including Tom Waits, John Lennon and Randy Newman, and have received praise for shows in Australia and overseas. 'My Leonard Cohen' has been the subject of rave reviews from critics and fans alike.
