The Frontier Touring Company today announced that singer/songwriter Adam Cohen – son of legendary poet-balladeer Leonard Cohen – will head to Australian shores for a series of intimate shows next March. It’s his first tour of Australia and he’ll be showcasing the unique and distinctive voice that has made him a success in his own right.
Born in Montreal, Canada in 1972 to Leonard Cohen and then-wife Suzanne Elrod, Adam has been a musician ever since he could walk, “always banging on teacups and the backs of chairs, stomping my foot and trying to whistle”.
With the release of his latest album, Like A Man (available through Shock) in October this year, Cohen is embracing his family’s inheritance with an intimate album of romantic poetic folk-pop that has echoes of his father Leonard’s finest work. The first single from the album is the stunning love song ‘What Other Guy’.
Australian singer/songwriter Gossling will be the very special guest of Adam Cohen. Gossling’s debut EP If You Can’t Whistle garnered plenty of attention on Triple J and Australian radio and with her tender, sweet style, Gossling’s song writing is both distinctive and alluring. She mixes heart-felt lyrics with graceful and memorable melodies. She is truly an artist to watch out for.
Don’t miss your chance to see the first Australian shows of a legend in the making. See Adam Cohen as he embarks on an intimate and special series of Australian shows.
