TEX SINGS LEONARD COHEN

Fall 2026 club tour — on the 10th anniversary of Leonard Cohen's death

November 2026 marks the tenth anniversary of Leonard Cohen's death. For Tex, this is not an occasion for a memorial event, but for concerts: playing songs that still trigger something today — directly, without pathos, in small spaces.

“Tex sings Leonard Cohen” is a solo tour in small clubs (approx. 200 seats): close, direct, without distance. Just voice and guitar. Not a big production, not a tribute show with costumes and backdrop — but a personal approach to songs that have carried people through crises and transitions for decades.

Tex is known to many as the founder and host of TV Noir. Since 2008, he has created a space for artists there in which music can function without noise and pose: reduced, attentive, genuine. It is precisely this attitude that also shapes his stage work as a musician. Tex has been touring in German-speaking countries since the late 90s, has released his own albums and developed a sound in countless concerts that is clear, present and unobtrusive.

What is special about this project is that Tex does not encounter Cohen as a memorial, but as a songwriter. And he does it from the perspective of a musician who himself has been writing, playing, doubting and restarting for decades. These evenings are about love and loss, dedication and failure, comfort and contradiction — everything that makes Cohen's work so timeless. And about the famous crack through which light falls.

Tex also brings an unusual perspective biographically: graduate mathematician, entrepreneur, presenter, musician. No opposites, but facets of curiosity that combines structure and feeling. This is exactly where his interpretation comes from: precise in expression, open in the moment.

Anyone who knows Cohen will hear familiar things anew. Anyone who doesn't know Cohen yet gets immediate access — without a barrier of reverence, but with great respect for the material.
