About the Site

The LCN event is an annual celebration of Leonard Cohen's life and music, held in Edmonton every September.

In 2008, the biennial Cohen event organized by The Leonard Cohen Files combined forces with the annual "Leonard Cohen Nights" festival in Edmonton for the best and largest event yet! The 2008 festival featured multiple concerts with artists from Jann Arden to Serena Ryder, open mike performances, poetry readings, and a visual arts display as well as a wide variety of participant activities.

This site lists information for participants - both local and international - for planning a trip to Edmonton, and to learn about past and future events. Links to specific areas of information are available below or along the left hand side of this page.

Please feel free to browse the site and contact us at cohenites@gmail.com if you have any questions or requests. Make sure to check out our official site at www.leonardcohennights.org as well.

Open Mike - Cohen Covers

If you love to sing along or strum your guitar while listening to classic Cohen albums, this is the event for you! Perform your own version of your favourite song in front of a like-minded and welcoming audience.

The Cohen Covers open mike is being run by Andrew Darbyshire, darby50@ozemail.com.au

Send an email with your full name, song choice and any technical needs (for instance, are you bringing your own guitar or do you need to borrow one? Do you play acoustic or does your guitar have a pick up installed?). Please sign up early to get the song you want -- we are limiting each song to one performance (to avoid two hours of "Famous Blue Raincoat" - much as we love it).
