Barb Jungr Sings Dylan & Cohen

Celebrated singer & writer Barb Jungr brings her collection of Dylan and Cohen’s most iconic songs to Chelmsford, mixing her interpretations with a selection of new arrangements of these classic songbooks.

Fresh from curating the first ever UK festival of Bob Dylan for Farnham Maltings, Visions of Dylan, Barb embarks on a series of shows celebrating two of the greatest contemporary songwriters of the western world.

Jungr’s dedication to re-inventing Dylan’s and Cohen’s repertoire has contributed to her formidable reputation as perhaps the best performer of their songs in the world.

Barb Jungr

Best known for her re-creation of the magic of the Parisian cabaret scene in a contemporary setting with modern translations of Brel, Piaf, Ferr, Harburgh and Cole Porter. She has also set the songs of Bob Dylan and Nina Simone to new and beautifully crafted arrangements. In the UK and New York she plays to packed houses and was recently heralded in a feature about her work in the New York Times. 'To turn down an invitation to see Barb Jungr perform live is to miss out on a revelatory and uplifting experience' (The Guardian) 'On stage she's a lioness' (The Sydney Morning Herald) 'The most literate of singers, Jungr is the perfect interpreter of this kind of material' (The Times) 'Possibly our best interpreter of Dylan's songs' (Billy Bragg).
