Interview With Eddie Cohn and LB Food Review

Eddie Cohn

On Wednesday October 27, 2010 at 9pm Swoop’s World is happy to have musician Eddie Cohn as our guest. Swoop and Peter will get to know Eddie and introduce some of you to his music and others we’re sure already know him. So that being the said we’ll try to see if in between all those questions and answers maybe we can convince Eddie to play a tune or two live in our studio.

There’s something to be said about living in the shadows of a famous family member, not least of which is an internal pressure to live up to the family name. Eddie Cohn’s uncle, Marc Cohn (“Walking in Memphis“) has enjoyed a solid and successful career in music. Is that in the cards for Cohn the younger as well?

While Eddie shared a passion for music at an early age much like his uncle, the similarities between the two clearly end there. Eddie’s musical influences range from Radiohead, Nirvana and Jeff Buckley to the African chanting of Amadou and Mariam. Clearly Eddie walks to the beat of his own drum.

At the age of 12, Eddie was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disease that causes chronic inflammation of the joints. Things like that – chronic illness, catastrophic events – make their mark on your soul, bringing a unique darkness that never fully dissipates. It’s from this place that Eddie writes, waiting for his muse, not forcing the creative process. When the songs are ready, he sits back and follows their lead.

Join us Wednesday night @ 9pm as we get to know Eddie and learn what the pressure to achieve while living in the shadows of a famous family member is like, and the confidence it takes to step out and follow his dreams on his own terms. Use the “Set a Reminder Function” now and you won’t miss a minute.

We guarantee you’ll enjoy the night. In fact we are so sure we can make that guarantee because besides Eddie Cohn he’s followed by our big guns, our go to guys, for another regular bi-weekly segment with Taylor Nelson and Chris “CLiv” Livingston of LB Food Review. Where there is never a shortage of subject matter, laughter and pure entertainment.
