Newtown live music venue Leadbelly is hosting a tribute to the dearly departed Leonard Cohen this weekend.

A bunch of all-star Aussie musicians will share their favourite selections from Cohen’s tower of song, and with so much material to choose from, it’s no surprise the list of acts is exhaustive.

The lineup includes Leroy Lee, Melanie Horsnell, Maples, Caitlin Harnett, Andy Golledge, Maxine Kauter, Sam Newton, Stephanie Cherote, Luke Escombe, James Morrison, Louise Nutting and James Edgar Francis, with more to be announced.

Head to Leadbelly on Friday December 2 to enjoy their interpretations of some classic songs.
