There are a few songs by Marc Cohn that everybody knows: “Walking in Memphis,” “Paper Walls” and “Walk Through The World.” And for anyone in the market for a wedding song, “True Companion” is another fan favorite. These songs definitely establish Cohn as great pop songwriter with an extremely powerful voice. However, there is so much more to know about this humble, easy-going pianist you’ve heard on the radio every week. This knowledge can only be gained after seeing him perform live.
His is the kind of full-bodied, soulful voice that gives everyone in the room chills. It seriously gives Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel and Paul Simon a run for their money. He’s more on par with James Taylor, Van Morrison, Graham Nash or Marc Broussard.
The best thing about Marc Cohn is that he simply does not book shows at large concert halls. He prefers the living room feel and always has a new idea to enhance the conversational feel of the show. His inventive new album, Listening Booth: 1970 includes beautifully, artfully re-imagined classics from 1970. Come out and see one of our favorite StageOne performers, as we welcome him back for the fourth time.
