Marc Cohn 's 25th Anniversary Show
2016-11-19 20:00
Marc Cohn ‘s 25th Anniversary Show at The Franklin Theatre in Downtown Franklin, TN
After winning a GRAMMY for his soulful ballad “Walking in Memphis,” Marc Cohn solidified his place as one of this generation’s most compelling singer/songwriters, combining the precision of a brilliant tunesmith with the passion of a great soul man. He’s a natural storyteller, balancing the exuberant with the poignant, and able to distill universal truth out of his often romantic, drawn-from-life tales.

Cohn followed up his platinum-selling debut with two more releases in the 1990s, at which point TIME magazine called him “one of the honest, emotional voices we need in this decade” and Bonnie Raitt declared, “Marc is one of the most soulful, talented artistsI know. I love his songs, he’s an incredible singer, and I marvel at his ability to mesmerizeevery audience he plays for.”
Raitt, James Taylor, David Crosby, Graham Nash and Patty Griffin all made guest appearances on Cohn’s early records for Atlanta, as his reputation as an artist and performer continued to grow. In 1998, Cohn took a decade-long sabbatical from recording, ending in 2007 with Join the Parade. Inspired by the horrific events followingHurricane Katrina and his own near fatal shooting just weeks before, Parade is his most moving and critically acclaimed record to date.
