The Music of Cave, Waits & Cohen

There are songs that have defined our lives through the good times and the bad, you have heard them sheltering at the crossroads of misery and abandon, you have heard them at the alter of ecstasy and elation. Songs that portray everything from sin, murder, love, death, regret and hope to songs that are simply enjoyed for their time defying melodies and their inexplicable lifting of the soul. When such songs and music are discussed they are without doubt heavily peppered with the names Cave, Waits and Cohen.
Three gentlemen that have spent three lifetimes fathoming the depths of power of the written word through the art form of music, amounting to a force that conveys emotions that are seldom completely captured in any other artistic form.
Often referred to as the Holy Trinity of songwriters, for the first time ever there is a show that captures every nuance and detail of their collective genius that is being performed to packed houses and tumultuous reviews over the past number of months.
The worlds of Nick Cave, Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen are uniquely presented with a characteristic authority rarely harnessed by mere mortals within any single show to date. Performed by an A-list crack band of musicians and a frontman that is fast becoming thought of as being the degenerate cousin and missing link between Misters Cave, Waits and Cohen. Or as Hotpress magazine simply put it "A Superband".
Whether or not the songs and music of Nick, Tom and Leonard play a central roll in your music collection, you simply have to experience this show live to feel a heaven-opening maelstrom of beauty scarcely captured by a live band. From the barroom ballads of Tom Waits to the evocative Godliness of Leonard Cohen and the anarchic elegance of Nick Cave there has never been a show that has captured the golden thread of what makes these men legends until now. Apart from the wry humour and stories that link the songs, you will experience an evening that has already been confirmed in many hearts as the most convincing performance of these three living icons ever on these shores.
The remarkable show that is The Music of Cave, Waits and Cohen is a crusading dark horse that keeps the mysteries of life alive. The escape route and destination for anyone seeking liberation from the norm.

The show is made up of Jack Healy/vocals, Conor Brady/guitars, J.D. Wilde/drums, Cian Boylan/piano and Paul Moore/Bass. All of these guys are well seasoned musicians from Irish, European and World tours in addition to countless albums they have performed on for a host of international acts including Van Morrison, Duke Special, Camille O'Sullivan, Toots and the Maytals, The Coors, Mary Coughlan, etc. etc.
