The Cooke Book
November 5 – 6, 2022
ONE SHOW. TWO SENSATIONS. A Chicago son, like Cooke himself, Darrian Ford performs these timeless and classic melodies to expanded and re-invigorated arrangements that hold stylistically true to the era, while his “… scorching vocals send you searching for your soul” (The Chicago Tribune). Urban Milwaukee said, “Ford delivered faithfully throughout the night, but with “Change is Gonna Come,” he transcended. The Triangle Theater Review said, “Ford not only turns in remarkable performances, recreating some of Cooke’s distinctive mannerisms, but captures the charisma and infectious energy of the celebrated Soul singer pioneer.”
