Marc Cohn's Blue-Eyed Soul

Jaime Vedres

In the two decades since, he has recorded a series of self-titled albums full of piano-based gospel-blues folk songs, and has performed around the world. In 2005, a harrowing near-death experience helped sharpen Cohn’s musical focus. This edition of "Musicians' Spotlight" took home the Montana Broadcasters' Association 2015  E.B. Craney Broadcasting Award in the Non-Commercial Radio Program of the Year category. Congratulations to John Floridis!
