D’Arrietta and his band perform stirring interpretations of the great, late Leonard Cohen’s powerful works, framed by a personal narrative. The stories give an insight into Cohen’s life and the motivations behind the songs, with a good dose of D’Arrietta’s trademark la-conic humour. Soulful lyrics are laced with raw emotion and sheer seductiveness. D’Arrietta’s arrange-ments add an uplifting, joyful feel to the music. For three decades, Stewart D’Arrietta has brought his own musical personality to the works of some of the other great ‘intelligent’ songwriters of our time; Tom Waits, John Lennon and Randy Newman. Showcasing Cohen’s best, including the heartrending ‘Suzanne’, the iconic ‘Tower Of Song’, the desperately sensual ‘I’m Your Man’, the apocalyptic ‘Future’ and the mournful but mighty ‘Hallelujah’, all delivered as you’ve never heard them before.
