Are you ready? For the first time in twenty four years (yes twenty four years!!), the fabled songwriter, poet, novelist and living legend, Leonard Cohen, is coming to Australia.
Since releasing 'The Songs of Leonard Cohen' in 1967, he has produced another eleven albums, numerous books of poetry and been a part of various doco's/movies. Recently, Cohen was inducted into the American Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with a speech by Lou Reed on March 10, 2008 for his status among the "highest and most influential echelon of songwriters". He has won a whole bunch of awards recognising his status in music history. Recurring themes in Cohen's work include love and sex, religion (Jewish), politics, psychological depression (he suffered from it and thought about suicide a lot) and obviously music itself. A new album is supposedly due out soon.
Oh yeah and Australia’s own master of story-telling, Paul Kelly, will be supporting.
You would be silly to miss these shows.
