Scheduled for April 22nd at Montreal’s Salle Wilfrid Pelletier, Rateliff’s homage promises to be a poignant celebration of Cohen’s profound musical legacy. With a repertoire spanning Cohen’s illustrious catalogue, from the hauntingly beautiful “Hallelujah” to the enchanting “Suzanne,” Rateliff’s distinctive blend of folk, Americana, and blues promises to breathe new life into these cherished compositions.
Joining Rateliff on stage is the virtuosic pianist Phil Cook, a frequent collaborator whose musical prowess adds an extra layer of depth and nuance to the performance. Together, Rateliff and Cook are set to deliver an unforgettable evening of music, showcasing the enduring power of Cohen’s songwriting to resonate with audiences across generations.

Through his emotive interpretations and soul-stirring performances, Rateliff invites audiences to embark on a journey through Cohen’s rich tapestry of music and poetry, offering a profound and immersive experience that transcends the confines of time and space.
Tickets for this exclusive event are set to go on sale Friday, March 1st, at 10 a.m. local time, with presales commencing on Wednesday, February 28th, using the code “COHEN.” \
Leonard Cohen is one of my favorite songwriters and given that he grew up in Canada, it only made sense to bring this show to Toronto and Montreal.
