Barb Jungr’s formidable talent as a singer, composer and lyricist is only outshone by her ability to reinterpret familiar songs and reveal new depths of meaning and beauty. Jungr continues to evolve her signature style while her transcendent artistry both live and recorded continues to delight audiences. In 2014, Barb followed her internationally acclaimed collection of Dylan songs “Every Grain Of Sand” with “Hard Rain”, laying herself bare to Dylan’s and Cohen’s political and philosophical songs. Jungr’s dedication to re-inventing Dylan’s and Cohen’s repertoire has contributed to her formidable reputation as perhaps the best performer of their songs in the world. For this special concert Barb will be working with world class collaborators, the much acclaimed pianist Simon Wallace and the celebrated double bassist Geoff Gascoigne as she presents her groundbreaking arrangements of two of the most important songwriters of this and the last century.
