Most any Saturday night in Seattle and there are usually many options to hear good local music. So I did my usual web surfing through various sites to find out who’s playing where. As luck would have it the C & P Coffee Company in West Seattle was hosting a wonderful young songwriter who I had heard once and wanted to hear more of. Thus, the trip across the bridge to hear Rebecca Cohen.
            If you haven’t had an opportunity to hear a performance at C&P Coffee it is a wonderful room and a comfortable haven to relax by the fire with you favorite beverage and enjoy the community ambience of this west Seattle Neighborhood Barista. Make plans to go there soon.
            Rebecca was setup with a small PA just perfect for this room and shared a wonderful assortment of originals and wonderfully arranged covers. How does one describe a voice like hers? As long flowing multi-colored silk waving in the breeze gently flowing up and down as the wind rises and falls. Her voice and selection of songs beckon you to join in. I found myself wanting to harmonize on every song she sang.
            A few of Rebecca’s songs of note are: This House ( a wonderful song of simple joys of love, this certainly is a beautiful wedding song.)  The Frenchman’s Daughter, The 24 hour Church of Elvis, and my favorite Slip Away (A haunting song of protecting ones heart from total collapse at the end of ….)
            Rebecca can be heard on the P&G Speakeasy compilation CD and around town. And hopefully on her own CD very soon.
