More than a poet or songwriter, Leonard Cohen was an intellectual explorer who used songwriting as a way of making sense of a bewildering world. His music inspired generations and had a profound impact on Bob Dylan, Judy Collins, Nina Simone, Roberta Flack, R.E.M., Elton John, Joe Cocker, Tori Amos, Don Henley, Aretha Franklin, and Bono, who said, “He finds shades in the blackness that feel like color.”

To deliver the music of this vast and deeply spiritual catalog, Pat Guadagno has put together The Orchestra of Rags & Feathers, an eclectic ensemble including singer-songwriter, activist Arlan Feiles, soul, hip-hop, classical harpist Christine Elise, The Tango Kid, Barefoot Strings, and one of the most captivating vocalists ever to grace a New Jersey stage, Maureen McCrink.
