Tex - Sings Leonard Cohen

Description

In November 2026, Leonard Cohen's death will mark ten years. For Tex, this is not an occasion for a memorial event, but for concerts: playing songs that still evoke something today — directly, without pathos, in small venues. "Tex Sings Leonard Cohen" is a solo tour in small clubs (about 200 seats): close, direct, without distance. Only voice and guitar. No big production, no tribute show with costumes and scenery — but a personal approach to songs that have carried people through crises and transitions for decades. Tex is well known as the founder and host of TV Noir. Since 2008, he has created a space there for artists where music can work without noise and pose: reduced, attentive, genuine. This attitude also shapes his stage work as a musician. Tex has been touring since the late 90s in the German-speaking world, has released his own albums, and has developed a tone in countless concerts that is clear, present, and unpretentious. What is special about this project: Tex does not encounter Cohen as a monument, but as a songwriter. And he does so from the perspective of a musician who has been writing, playing, doubting, and rethinking for decades. These evenings are about love and loss, devotion and failure, comfort and contradiction — about everything that makes Cohen's work so timeless. And about the famous crack through which light falls. Biographically, Tex brings an unusual perspective: diploma mathematician, entrepreneur, moderator, musician. No contradictions, but facets of a curiosity that thinks structure and feeling together. This is where his interpretation arises from: precise in expression, open in the moment. Those who know Cohen will hear the familiar anew. Those who do not yet know Cohen will gain an immediate access — without a barrier of reverence, but with great respect for the material.
