Marc Cohn
“Walking in Memphis” is a great song, but it’s only the tip of the Marc Cohn iceberg. Determined not to squander his 1991 Best New Artist Grammy award, Cohn began touring relentlessly afterwards, patiently perfecting his craft in the years that followed.
Cohn’s persistence paid off; he’s now considered one of the most engaging live performers on the singer/songwriters circuit. No wonder his past five concerts at our Norfolk venue have packed the house!
As he proved with 2010’s Listening Booth: 1970, Marc can also work wonders with other songwriters’ material, infusing old pop and rock gems with his distinct blend of gritty Americana and blue-eyed soul.

Artist Bio
After winning a Grammy for his soulful ballad “Walking in Memphis,” Marc Cohn solidified his place as one of this generation’s most compelling singer-songwriters, combining the precision of a brilliant tunesmith with the passion of a great soul man. Rooted in the rich ground of American rhythm and blues, soul and gospel and possessed of a deft storyteller’s pen, he weaves vivid, detailed, often drawn-from-life tales that evoke some of our most universal human feelings: love, hope, faith, joy, heartbreak.
In 2019, Marc released a collaborative record with gospel legends Blind Boys of Alabama titled'Work To Do’ which was released on BMG.'Work to Do' is comprised of three studio tracks plus seven intimate live performances recordedat the Katharine Hepburn Cultural Arts Center in Old Saybrook, CT, during a taping of the PBSseries The Kate. Original plans were to release an EP containing the studio tracks, but theexcitement and magic captured during the taping inspired the decision to create this uniquehybrid album.2019 was a busy year for Marc, consisting of 75 shows in about 65 cities. Moving forward, Marccontinues to do what he does best: infuse American music with both a fresh perspective and areverence for its deep roots.
