- Beat Magazine
D’Arrietta and his band perform stirring interpretations of the great, late Leonard Cohen’s powerful works, framed by a personal narrative… an insight into Cohen’s life and the motivations behind the songs, with a good dose of D’Arrietta’s trademark laconic humour.
Above all; very, very fun!
★★★★
- Broadway Baby
A fine performer in his own right and a terrifically skilled band… expect paced up songs, expect tango and Texas, hard rock and enough overlap with Cohen’s own style to satisfy, surprise and delight.
