More details ↓

Stewart D’Arrietta & his band perform stirring interpretations of the great, late Leonard Cohen's powerful works. Soulful lyrics are laced with raw emotion & sheer seductiveness.

D’Arrietta’s signature gravelly voice & the arrangements are uplifting & joyful. This selection of Cohen’s music transports you to the timeless notions of love and loss, sex & heartache, all wrapped up in a powerful & sensual musical show.
As well as music, there is a bit of poetry & storytelling giving an insight into Leonard Cohen’s life & the motivations behind the songwriting, with a good dose of D'Arrietta's trademark laconic humour.

Featuring the heartrending 'Suzanne', the iconic 'Tower Of Song', the desperately sensual 'Im Your Man' and the mournful but mighty 'Hallelujah' & many others.

An Adelaide and Edinburgh Fringe favourite, this show has also sold out at the Melbourne Arts Centre and Sydney Opera House Playhouse, and toured across the UK and Europe.

“May the national treasure that Stewart D'Arrietta is continue to be an integral part of our national cultural fabric. I've come to believe there is nothing he can't do at his keyboard.” Glenn A Baker (Australia’s most eminent music archivist)
