“I think Marc Cohn is easily in the top half-dozen talents in the world.” –David Crosby

“I love his songs, he’s an incredible singer and I marvel at his ability to mesmerize every audience he plays for.” –Bonnie Raitt

Singer-songwriter and pianist Marc Cohn burst onto the scene in 1991 on the heels of “Walking In Memphis,” one of the most resonant songs to make the Top 40 in the last twenty years. The Best New Artist Grammy for 1991 soon followed. Cohn’s short-story songwriting style is heavily influenced by Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell and Jackson Browne, and he is often named among the most personal and introspective lyricists of his generation. Cohn performs songs from his new album Join The Parade as well as his classics hits.

“Steve’s…Alan King, Billy Crystal, a smidgen of Don Rickles and George Carlin all thrown in.” –Variety

Steve Solomon’s hit Broadway smash My Mother’s Italian, My Father’s Jewish & I’m in Therapy sold out two shows at the Colonial in 2006. Now, Steve is back with another hilarious hit; the chaos continues with: My Sister’s An Only Child. In this hysterical prequel, Steve introduces myriad characters from his past, including Uncle Willie, Stuttering Cousin Bob and Demented Cousin Kenny. Each character is brought to life onstage with Steve’s gift for creating voices, dialects and wacky sound effects.
