SUMMARY:Tower of Song: A Creative Tribute to Leonard Cohen
DESCRIPTION:Entrance for this concert in the Alix Goolden Performance Hall is at 900 Johnson Street \n\n\n\nFeaturing Oliver Swain\, Glenna Garramone\, Daniel Lapp & Adrian Dolan \n“I said to Hank Williams\, how lonely does it get?\nHank Williams hasn’t answered yet.\nBut I hear him coughing all night long\,\nA hundred floors above me\, in the Tower of Song” \n\nWhen Leonard Cohen sang these words\, the Tower of Song was a metaphor for the inspiration that flows between songwriters\, each toiling away on their own\, but connected by their shared craft. Moved by this concept\, celebrated BC singer-songwriters Oliver Swain and Glenna Garramone collaborated to produce a project that is a dialogue through song and a tribute to the legendary songwriter. Reimagining both rare and classic works of Cohen\, the duo have crafted a sound that resonates with both longtime Cohen fans and a younger audience. \n\nTower of Song began as a one-off tribute night for a packed house at Vancouver’s The Media Club and has since grown into a nationally touring folk duo. Produced by Garramone\, she invited fellow Victoria musician (Juno nominated) Oliver Swain\, and the show gave Swain and Garramone the chance to grow their musical chemistry. Together as Tower of Song the two have arranged some of Cohen’s timeless songs beautifully\, for two voices\, string bass\, piano\, guitar and banjo. Encouraged by the audience response\, Tower of Song put “more power in the tower\,” recording their debut album In City and In Forest\, with Juno award winning producer Joby Baker. They have since toured several times across BC\, Alberta\, Saskatchewan\, Manitoba\, Ontario\, and Quebec\, playing more than 200 shows to thousands of people at theatres\, festivals and folk clubs across Canada. Highlights include a mainstage performance at the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival\, West End Cultural Centre (Winnipeg)\, Aeolian Hall (London)\, the Rotary Centre for the Arts (Kelowna)\, and the Dave Dunnet Theatre (Victoria). \n\n“The tunes are hauntingly lovely. Wonderful takes with close harmonies and violent re-rhythmings. Musically sound. Faithful by being strongly\, creatively Cohen\, and yet\nwholly their own.” James N. Porter\, Professor Emeritus (Arts)\, York University.
