Description

The Ups & Downs of Love: Bill Cohen’s Pre-Valentine Concert Returns In Person Serious love songs, humorous trivia questions, and surprises will highlight the 14th annual Valentines concert by Bill Cohen and friends from 7:00 to 9 pm on Saturday February 4. With guitar and piano, Bill will sing favorites from the 1940’s through the 1980’s, made famous by John Denver, the Everly Brothers, Sam Cooke, Bette Midler, James Taylor, Bing Crosby, the Shirelles, the Eagles, Johnny Mathis, and others. Ann Fisher will be on hand to add some romantic flute accompaniment on several songs. David Maywhoor will keep the beat on percussion, and Brian Szuch will add extra sparkle on lead guitar. Plus, the all-girl trio, The Harmonettes, will sing smooth backup vocals. While the songs will reflect the ecstasy, warmth, heartache, and pain that love can bring, there will be a lighter side too, as Bill poses trivia questions about famous and infamous couples and love songs throughout the decades. The concert takes place at the Columbus Mennonite Church, 35 Oakland Park Avenue. $15 per person donations are suggested at the door, with proceeds helping put on this May’s Central Ohio Folk Festival.
