Tower of Song:A Creative Tribute to Leonard Cohen 
Featuring Oliver Swain & Glenna Garramone 
With Special Guests Stephen Fearing, Dawn Pemberton, Alex Campbell & Adrian Dolan

Canada's longest running Leonard Cohen tribute Tower of Song, has been hosting unforgettable annual concerts featuring some of BC's greatest talents since 2014. This year's celebration includes Juno winning songwriter Stephen Fearing(Blackie & The Rodeo Kings), Soul singing, multi-Juno nominee Dawn Pemberton, percussionist Alex Campbell and composer, instrumentalist and producer Adrian Dolan.

“I said to Hank Williams, how lonely does it get?

Hank Williams hasn’t answered yet.

But I hear him coughing all night long,

A hundred floors above me, in the Tower of Song”

When Leonard Cohen sang these words, the Tower of Song was a metaphor for the inspiration that flows between songwriters, each toiling away on their own, but connected by their shared craft. Moved by this concept, celebrated BC singer-songwriters Oliver Swain(2xWCMA award winner and Juno Nominee) and Glenna Garramone collaborated to produce a project that is a dialogue through song and a tribute to the legendary songwriter.  Reimagining both rare and classic works of Cohen, the duo have crafted a sound that resonates with both longtime Cohen fans and a younger audience.
