Hommage à Léonard Cohen

Ten years after the passing of the Canadian poet, Frenchman H-Burns pays a personal and collective tribute to Leonard Cohen, accompanied by a string quartet. A singer-songwriter, H-Burns has been a fixture on the music scene for nearly 20 years, guitar in hand. His warm, smooth voice first gained recognition through folk-rock music, influenced by the legendary figures of the sixties, Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen. With Burns on the Wire, he pays homage to Leonard Cohen with a selection of essential tracks that contributed to the success of his early albums. He is joined by his friend, multi-instrumentalist and arranger Antoine Pinet. For strings and vocals, he will be joined by the virtuoso women of the Stranger Quartet. Their clear, melodious, and penetrating voices will blend perfectly with H-Burns's own. A delightful blend which, far from distorting the original works, brings just the right amount of substance, power and melancholy to the compositions of the Canadian poet.
