Tex - Sings Leonard Cohen

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 have an impact today - directly, without pathos, in small venues.
"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 scenery - 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 there for artists in which music can function without noise and posturing: reduced, attentive, genuine. It is precisely this attitude that also characterizes his stage work as a musician. Tex has been touring German-speaking countries since the late 90s, has released his own albums and has developed a sound in countless concerts that is clear, present and undisguised.
What is special about this project is that Tex does not approach Cohen as a monument, but as a songwriter. And he does so from the perspective of a musician who has been writing, playing, doubting and rewriting for decades. These evenings are about love and loss, devotion and failure, consolation and contradiction - about everything that makes Cohen's work so timeless. And about the famous crack through which light falls.
Tex also has an unusual biographical perspective: Graduate mathematician, entrepreneur, presenter, musician. Not opposites, but facets of a curiosity that combines structure and emotion. This is precisely where his interpretation comes from: precise in expression, open in the moment.
Those who know Cohen will hear the familiar in a new way. Those who are not yet familiar with Cohen will gain immediate access - without awe, but with great respect for the material.
