The Firehouse Center for the Arts presents…
The Secret Chord
A Tribute to Leonard Cohen
Tickets starting at $20
Experience the poetry and power of Leonard Cohen’s music brought to life by The Secret Chord, the nation’s sole fully devoted Cohen tribute band. With rich harmonies, soulful vocals, and a dynamic blend of folk, rock, and jazz, this six-piece ensemble captures the heart of Cohen’s legendary songs. From hard-rocking social commentary to tender love ballads to soaring anthems – woven throughout with Cohen’s deep spiritual devotion – The Secret Chord delivers with all the passion and respect this music deserves.
The Secret Chord is fronted by baritone/guitarist Gordon Kramer, supported by “angel choir” Ruth Critcher and Jody Spitz, classically-trained pianist Jesse Sprole, drummer Patrick Kelley and bassist Jeff Jacobson, who has played with Chuck Berry, Percy Sledge, Martha Reeves and Leslie Gore – to name a few – and with R&B greats like The Platters and The Drifters.
“Hallelujah” is just the start! Join The Secret Chord for a celebration of the human journey in all its grit and glory, paying tribute to the artist Bob Dylan described as “connected to the music of the spheres”. Whether you’re a lifelong Cohen fan or discovering his brilliance for the first time, this performance will leave you inspired and moved.
