Barb Jungr sings Bob Dylan & Leonard Cohen, accompanied by Simon Wallace

Barb will perform a selection of songs from her impressive back catalogue by these legendary songwriters who have been her inspiration for many years. Her legendary performances of this material have made her an internationally acclaimed interpreter of some of the most extraordinary writers of our time.

One of the most extraordinary British performers of her generation. Barb Jungr’s formidable talent as a singer, composer and lyricist is only outshined by her ability to re-interpret familiar songs and reveal new depths of meaning and beauty. Internationally acclaimed, Jungr continues to evolve her signature style while her transcendent artistry both live and recorded continues to delight audiences.

“Bob Dylan, jazz, northern soul, Nina Simone and continental Europe’s cabaret music perform a subtle dance in Jungr’s consciousness” observed The Guardian.

In 2014, Barb followed her award winning, 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. Hard Rain gained many 4 and 5 star reviews for its uncompromising and powerful renditions. Bob Dylan’s manager called it “some heavy music”. Praise indeed. 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.

“The brilliant jazz singer on world-beating form. Barb Jungr proves she’s a genuine jazz marvel… A true musical alchemist” – The Telegraph
