Keith James

Each song stripped back - desolate, naked and sensual

The most enigmatic, mysterious and sub textural songwriter the English speaking world has ever known. Revered and covered by the entire music community; Leonard Cohen is an unflinching character with an exact sense of prose, a wry humour and courage to wrestle with the unspoken. Forgiving human frailty with the brush of each line.

His recent world tour of stadium venues has been successful beyond belief but has not, Keith feels, exposed the solitary inner strength of the songs in their original perfect form.

Keith James; with a lifetime reputation of performing in an exact way, with an undying love of the pure song gives you a concert of Cohen's amazing material in an intimate and sensitive way.

Amongst a concert of such songs as; Famous Blue Raincoat, Sisters of Mercy, Suzanne and Hallelujah, are also Poems by Federico Garcia Lorca that Keith has set to music; said to be Cohen's greatest influence.
