Description

Songs Tell the Ups and Downs of Love As Bill Cohen’s Valentine Concert Returns In Person Serious love songs a humorous trivia quiz, and surprises will highlight the 13th annual Valentines concert by Bill Cohen and friends at the Columbus Mennonite Church at 35 E. Oakland Park. The show runs from 7:30 to 9:30 pm on Friday February 4. With guitar and piano, Bill will sing favorites from the 1950’s through the 1970’s, made famous by John Denver, the Everly Brothers, Sam Cooke, Bette Midler, James Taylor, Dan Fogelberg, the Eagles, the Beatles, Nat King Cole, Johnny Mathis, Tom Waits, and others. Ann Fisher will be on hand to add some romantic flute accompaniment on several songs. And the all-girl trio, the Harmonettes, will add some tight vocal back-ups on other tunes. David Maywhoor will keep the beat on percussion, and Brian Szuch will add extra sparkle on lead guitar. While the songs will reflect the ecstasy, warmth, heartache, and pain that love can bring, there will be a lighter side too, as Bill challenges the audience with trivia questions about famous and infamous couples and love songs throughout the decades. A $15 donation per person is being requested at the door, with proceeds going to help produce the upcoming Central Ohio Folk Festival in May.
