About the show

Jason McNiff returns to The Institute with a new show that brings together the songs of Leonard Cohen with his own deeply lyrical work.

Songs of Love, Loss and Light places McNiff’s acclaimed songwriting alongside that of the Canadian master, tracing the thread between influence and originality, and offering a rare glimpse into the enduring art of songcraft.

"McNiff’s quiet, intimate, fragile-sounding vocals draw you into his world — an almost timeless place, through which he drifts, a romantic loner, a dreamer, at home with the blues.” - TIME OUT

"Uk's premier fingerstyle guitarist" — MOJO ★★★★

Jason McNiff appearing at this event

Folk bluesician drawing on decades of traditions but never enslaved by them, Jason McNiff plays apparently laid back acoustic songs, but with a focused emotional involvement. In the same way that The Kinks could play quintessentially English songs with consummate mastery of American musical forms, McNiff plays what is often described as 'Americana' without ever assuming an American persona.
