Both Sides Now: Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen

Both Sides Now: A Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen Story Concert

“Two singer-songwriters sit on the edge of a cliff…

With these words, we are drawn into the world of Both Sides Now - a theatrical concert that explores the music and lives of long-time friends and one-time lovers, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. Created by, and starring Robbie Schaefer and Danielle Wertz, the cabaret-style performance traverses decades alongside songs such as A Case of You, Hallelujah, Big Yellow Taxi, Suzanne, and many more. Both Sides Now is at once a piece of the 60’s and 70’s, and of right now -- offering us a story about the messiness of being human, of lives persistently lived at the edge of growth, and of finding the courage to turn toward one another, again and again.

Robbie Schaefer is a singer-songwriter, filmmaker, and member of indie-folk band Eddie From Ohio. His musical Light Years inspired the forthcoming film Burst the Silence. He also really likes olives.

Danielle Wertz is a GRAMMY-winning vocalist, composer, and arranger blending jazz, folk, and art song. Praised by *DownBeat* for her intimate, expressive voice, she performs internationally and throughout NYC’s creative music scene. She also really loves chocolate.
