After his soulful ballad “Walking in Memphis” won him a Grammy Award, Marc Cohn established his place as one of this generation’s most compelling singer/songwriters. A natural storyteller with the precision of a brilliant tunesmith and the passion of a great soul man, he balances the exuberant with the poignant, distilling universal truths from real life tales. Whether singing his own tunes or songs from decades past, Cohn’s music is warm, soulful, and full of easy-going charm.
