An Evening On The Green - Leonard Cohen

Sandalford Wines are proud to announce the legendary Leonard Cohen will be performing at An Evening on the Green at Sandalford Wines on Saturday 7 February as part of his first Australian concert tour in almost a quarter of a century.

Leonard Cohen is a true music icon, the writer of such timeless classics as “Hallelujah”, “Suzanne”, “Bird on a Wire”, “Sisters of Mercy”, “First We Take Manhattan”, “Everybody Knows”, and countless other universally loved songs.

A celebrated poet, author, master songsmith and hypnotic performer, Leonard Cohen has received rapturous reviews for his recent shows across the UK, Europe and Canada, his first concert performances anywhere since 1993.

Leonard Cohen’s impact on modern popular music has been widespread and profound. Artists ranging from Bono to Nick Cave cite Cohen as a major influence on their own work. His songs have been covered by generations of artists from REM, Elton John, Jeff Buckley, Aaron Neville, Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, and many, many more.

It is only apt that Australia’s own poet laureate, Paul Kelly, join Leonard Cohen on tour for the Australian dates. The eight time ARIA Award winner and ARIA Hall of Fame inductee is renowned for his powerfully political lyrics and passionate performances.

At 74, Leonard Cohen is an undeniable master of song, a living legend. It is a privilege and honour that Mr Leonard Cohen and his amazing nine-piece band have accepted The Frontier Touring Company and Roundhouse’s invitation to return to Australia after an absence of 24 years.
