D'Arrietta and band celebrate the late, legendary Cohen. Arresting and imaginative musical arrangements are punctuated by poems, with stories of Cohen's life and the motivations behind the songs. Cohen’s work as you’ve never heard it before.
D’Arrietta and his band provide gutsy and arresting interpretations of 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 sprinkling of laconic humour.
Few bodies of musical work rouse, seduce and are of such great solace as that of the great singer songwriter Leonard Cohen. Soulful lyrics are laced with raw emotion and sheer seductiveness. D’Arrietta’s arrangements add an uplifting, upbeat feel.

'My Leonard Cohen' was the toast of the Edinburgh and Adelaide Fringe Festivals 2016, 2017 and 2019, with sold out shows at The Sydney Opera House and Melbourne Arts Centre, and rave reviews from critics and fans alike.
Expect Cohen’s best, including the heartrending Suzanne, the iconic Tower Of Song, the desperately sensual I’m Your Man, and the mournful, but mighty Hallelujah - all delivered as you've never heard them before.
