virtual, Columbus OH

04 February, 2022

Description

Serious love songs humorous trivia questions, and surprises will highlight the 13th annual Valentines concert -- online only -- by Bill Cohen and friends from 7:30 to 9 pm on Friday 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, the Beatles, Nat King Cole, 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. 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 online concert is FREE, but if you appreciate the music, memories, and fun, we’ll welcome donations to help produce the upcoming Central Ohio Folk Festival in May.
