Ten years after Leonard Cohen's death, Tex takes this milestone as reason not for remembrance, but for celebration. He's bringing a solo tour of Cohen's songs to intimate club spaces across Germany—venues holding just 200 or so people—with nothing but his voice and guitar.

Tex is known as founder and longtime host of TV Noir, the venue and cultural space where he's hosted artists since 2008 with a philosophy of clarity over noise, attention over spectacle. He brings that same ethos to his own work as a musician: touring since the late 90s, releasing his own albums, developing a sound that's direct, present, and unapologetically sincere.

What makes this project distinct is how Tex approaches Cohen—not as monument, but as living songwriter. He's drawn to songs about love and loss, surrender and failure, comfort and contradiction, the crack where light comes through. These are pieces that have carried people through for decades, and they remain vital now. From the perspective of someone who's been writing and playing for forty years, Tex finds in Cohen both mirror and touchstone.

Rarely, a musician brings unusual depth to interpretation. Tex is a trained mathematician, entrepreneur, broadcaster, musician—not contradictions but facets of one sensibility, thinking structure and feeling together. That precision shapes everything: exact in expression, open in the moment.

Whether you know Cohen intimately or not at all, this is a direct encounter with his work—reverent but never reverent-blocked, intimate but never precious.
