On Tuesday evening, fans gathered at Yoshi’s in San Francisco to hear the soulful music of artist Marc Cohn. This was the first time I had attended a concert at this venue, and found Yoshi’s to be one of the best locations for a show that I had visited. Effortless parking, spacious seating, and excellent cuisine made Yoshi’s a memorable setting for a relaxing evening. Breaking away from the band, Cohn sang with only his guitarist Shane Fontayne for this very intimate performance. The night began with some of Cohn’s classic numbers, like “Perfect Love,” a song about his brother and the innocence and thrill associated with young love. Other songs from the set included “29 Ways,” a rendition of Willie Dixon’s 1956 original. This is the only cover song Cohn produced prior to [...] Continue reading →

Fashion shows and runways are not exclusive to the streets of New York, Paris and Milan. As a matter of fact, here in the Bay Area a Fashion Show took place at a local High School and I had the privilege of covering it. At Monta Vista High School there is a fashion club which consists of aspiring fashion designers who have made their passion a reality. This was their 6th annual fashion show and it consisted of multiple designers — not only limited to those in the fashion club. The gym at Monta Vista was transformed into a vision of a runway show and music that drew me into the excitement of what was to come. The show began when the MC introduced the members of the fashion club and their vision behind the show that night. The lights grew dim and the show began with an introduction of [...] Continue reading →

Marc Cohn at the Montalvo – Recap

by Paria Amini on November 18, 2010 in Events, Lifestyle, Local with No comments

This past weekend, on a chilly Autumn night in Saratoga, Marc Cohn captivated the sold-out audience with his smoothing voice and impassioned lyrics. The location, the Montalvo Arts Center, made the perfect backdrop for this event. The set-list ranged from Cohn’s more well-known songs, to newer tracks from his Listening Booth: 1970 album. Taking an artistic approach, Cohn performed some songs like the original, and others with a creative harmonic rendition, pouring his soul into every word he sung. Naturally, when attending a concert, you never expect to hear the artist perform nearly as good as recorded on the album. But with Cohn, this is not the case at all. The same melodious vocals are combined with a soulful execution, in a performance that captures the raw emotion of the lyrics [...] Continue reading →
