Rosanne Cash returns in her popular musical/talk show series with singer/songwriter Marc Cohn.
This performance will mark the ninth in a series of musical "talk shows" hosted by Rosanne Cash called Acoustic Cash. She made her Rubin Museum of Art debut on October 5, 2004, four days after the museum opened its doors. In the course of the first six concerts, Cash debuted songs that were to make up her 2006 album, the much-lauded Black Cadillac. Rosanne's seventh Acoustic Cash performance was with guest Elvis Costello in April 2007 and her eighth was with Joe Henry in November of last year.
Rosanne Cash's albums include Seven Year Ache, Somewhere in the Stars, and the Grammy-nominated 10 Song Demo. Cash received a Grammy award for I Don't Know Why You Don't Want Me and was named Billboard's Top Singles Artist in 1988. In 2003, Cash released the landmark album Rules of Travel, which featured duets with Steve Earle and Sheryl Crow and the song September When It Comes, the last one she would record with her father Johnny Cash. She is the author of Bodies of Water, a short-story collection, and a forthcoming book of nonfiction which will be published by Viking in 2009. She lives in New York City with her husband and her nine-year-old son. Photo: Ethan Russell
The singer/songwriter Marc Cohn attended Oberlin College, where he taught himself piano. After moving to New York, he led a successful 14-piece R&B band before releasing "Walking in Memphis" the breakout hit (and Grammy Award-winner for Best New Artist of 1991) from his Atlantic debut album. The Rainy Season followed in 1993, which included notable guest appearances by David Crosby, Graham Nash, and Bonnie Raitt. Two further albums Burning the Daze (1998) and Live 04-05 (2005) were released amidst much touring and writing. But a period of writer's block preceded the accidental shooting in which a bullet penetrated his left temple. This trauma and the devastation of Hurricane Katrina reengaged Cohn in an unprecedented way, resulting in the 2007 album Join the Parade - a recording that is being called his most accomplished and compelling album to date.
