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.

Les Robot


Emerging from the isolated prairies of Northern Canada the enigmatic Les Robot brings a new sound to the world of guitar. He calls it "Post Future Blues", a progressive form which draws its soul from the deep south and its heart from the "shred guitar" he cut his teeth on.

In June of 2006 Les Robot made his premiere outside of Alberta by winning the prestigious North American Rock Guitar Competition in Buffalo New York.

Les is currently at work on a follow up to his 1st album, with an expected release date in the Summer of 2008.

"He is a true original and clearly loves his craft!"
Stuart Hamm,
Renowned Bassist
