Leonard Cohen Tribute band
The aim of this page is to collect material that we have created in connection with our tours, we hope that you like what we have saved on this page.
If you have youtube videos that you also want to be on our page ”More Leonard Cohen Tributes” please send me the link and I will probably post it, if I do, I both like it and it also helps to keep Leonard Cohen´s music alive.
Full length concert video, premier 2nd of September, CET 21.00
In April 2022 we again arranged a tour with the whole band consisting of the trio mentioned above – Lisa, Lotta and Felix – as well as Kjell Ekholm on bass and double bass, William Barman on drums and Paddy McQuaile on vocals and guitar. This concert featured 21 of Cohen’s classics handpicked from his vast repertoire of treasures.
One of the concerts from this tour was recorded for you to enjoy in your own time, from the comfort of your home. In addition to the beautifully interpreted version of the music, you are also invited to learn more about the life of Leonard Cohen as our host Charlotta Barman shares short stories on his legacy.
These tribute concerts have something for everyone. If you are a fan of Leonard Cohen we hope you will love our interpretations of these great songs; and if you are not familiar with his music we believe these shows will spark an interest in his magnificent poetry and beautiful tunes.
Leonard Cohen made 15 studio albums with each album different from the next. To truly get to know Cohen, we recommend that you listen to them all.

Keeping the music of Leonard Cohen alive
We have had the great honor of performing Leonard Cohen’s poetic music live in several concerts.
Our first concert took place in 2020 just before the pandemic when Paddy McQuaile from Ireland joined the rest of the band in Finland.
In summer 2021 we offered a mini concert with our trio Lisa Theman on vocals, Lotta Ahlbeck on violin and Felix Lönnqvist on piano. This concert was filmed and you can now enjoy it on YouTube (this video has now more than 30.000 views), the songs in this miniconcert are: The Window, The Partisan, Thanks for the Dance and Hallelujah
