Tower of Song: A Creative Tribute to Leonard Cohen - Gibsons

Tower of Song:A Creative Tribute to Leonard Cohen
Featuring Oliver Swain & Glenna Garramone

Canada's longest running Leonard Cohen Tribute

Tower “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.
