WITH INTERNATIONAL RECORDING ARTIST EMMA SWIFT AS SPECIAL GUEST
Emma's latest album, "The Resurrection Game", was released last year and her critically-acclaimed "Blonde on the Tracks" - an exquisite reimagining of favorite Bob Dylan tunes - received Best of 2020 accolades from Rolling Stone and other major legacy media. And yes, she is with Live Coverage at Berlin! You'll have to drop in to know and experience the Dylan classic she'll be belting out!
Three guests came into our Berlin show purchasing entry at the door, knowing nothing about us, and they immediately got swept up in the music. They danced their way up to the front and were singing along. We caught one of them in mid-dance saying, "This is the most fun I’ve ever had!’” Live Coverage loved your energy and fun vibes too, thank you!
We are grateful to have Berlin invite us back, and we will be there sooner than you think!
