Anyone who enjoys the approach of Leonard Cohen through the decades with his dark, emotional, romantic and intense songs – will embrace this effort by Michael Reinhart. It has the relish and authenticity of that genre and it never sounds like an imitation but an equally polished gem.” michaelreinhart sonicbids/michaelreinhart https://youtube/watch?v=7iKRfv_Cqlc Tickets $12 (Seniors $10) at Char’s, Gayle’s Fashions & Rollin Arts (cash/cheque) out-of-towners email info@charslanding Char’s 19+ Lounge opens 1pm FMI (250) 730-1636 Char’s Landing, 4815 Argyle @5th.
