LIZ SIMMONS & FLYNN COHEN
Musician Pub 4th jULY 2024
Tonight the The Musician Pub delivered us another exceptional performance... in the shape of LIZ SIMMONS & FLYNN COHEN.
We have seen many an acoustic couple here, ranging from average to excellent, but nothing reaching the standard of this exceptional duo.
The majority of the singing was by Liz, who has a simply beautiful warm voice while playing faultless rhythm guitar, while Flynn plays superb guitar and also has a fine singing voice. Together the two blend perfectly, connect immediately with the audience and generate an enveloping warm vibe in the room.
The balance of material is also spot on... performing a number of original songs written by Liz and original tunes by Flynn. There are also traditional pieces, some of which have travelled from the UK to the USA and re-appeared changed but still maintaining the same qualities and more... They also perfromed a few covers, including songs by Diana Ross & the Supremes and Jethro Tull.
I so admire Joni Mitchell that i don't often like covers of her songs... however I loved Liz's performance of "Night in the City"
Most of the pieces were the duo together, but each did some solo pieces...including the two covers Liz sang, and one of her own songs, while Flynn delivered a couple of fiddle tunes on guitar, as well as a finger-picking guitar piece he composed in the style of John Renbourne
Liz's songs are all extremely high quality and stand against anyone else in the field.
I cant speak highly enough of this duo... absolutely superb
keep music live... keep music real... support your local venue
