When tickets went on sale (very quietly) for Gotye's gig at the small and gorgeously historic Wilton's Music Hall, I had a hunch it would be my first and last chance to see Australian wonderboy Wally de Backer. The buzz was building (thanks to that ubiquitous music video) and pretty soon it would mean bigger [...]

When iconic songwriter Leonard Cohen was looking for vocalists to accompany him on his long-running international tour, he handpicked U.K. sibling singers and songwriters Charley and Hattie Webb and provided what one critic described as a "silk lining to his dry bark." After over 250 performances together since 2008, The Webb Sisters just wrapped their last two concerts with Cohen this past week bringing, as always, their shining solo moment -- a rapturous version of Cohen's "If It Be Your Will" -- to thousands of new listeners. In between the heavy tour schedule dates, the sisters have also [...]
The Webb Sisters - Savages - Release Date TBA - Handpicked to accompany iconic songwriter Leonard Cohen on his long-running international tour, U.K. sibling singers and songwriters Charley and Hattie Webb found time over the past year to finish up their new album Savages with noted L.A. producer Peter Asher (James Taylor). "The Goodnight Song" captures the essence of what makes The Webb Sisters neo-traditional folk special -- intricately woven vocal harmonies that flit and soar with a lighter-than-air delicacy. [...]

It's been a busy year for The Webb Sisters , the U.K. sibling singers and songwriters who effortlessly blend enchanting contemporary and traditional British folk backed by an array of instruments ranging from harp to mandolin. After a pair of fine albums, Charley and Hattie were handpicked last year to accompany iconic songwriter Leonard Cohen on his international tour (recently wrapped in the U.S.), lending their voices to the Cohen classic "If It Be Your Will". They also were heard recently on the latest Sting "seasonal" album If On A Winter's Night . We caught the Webbs in [...]
Charley and Hattie, The Webb Sisters , have made a name for themselves in the U.K. for their completely enchanting folk/pop songs - combining traditional British folk instruments (harp, mandolin, guitar) with a contemporary twist. But it wasn't until one of their idols, Leonard Cohen, plucked them to be part of his major European (and now U.S.) tour, singing backup and performing a version of his classic "If It Be Your Will", did the Webb Sisters get the kind of attention they've been worthy of. The duo's third full album with noted producer Peter Asher (James [...]

Leonard Cohen review, O2 Arena, London - 14 November 2008 Have you ever seen Annie Hall? If yes, then you'll recall the scene where Alvy dates a music journalist played by Shelley Duvall and they emerge from a Stones concert, Duvall's character rhapsodising about how the gig was 'transplendent'. Well before you go any further, I should confess: that was me, after witnessing the legend that is Leonard Cohen in London. After a hellish journey from Oxford to London and then to North Greenwich, we found ourselves slightly late, hungry and cranky. Now [...]
