Best known for his hit ballad “Walking in Memphis,” Marc Cohn has been called one of his generation’s most compelling singer-songwriters. Following on his sold out 2016 show in Livermore, he returns to the Bankhead Theater on Friday evening, Jan. 19, for a single performance with special guests the legendary gospel group Blind Boys of Alabama. As with a number of other shows at the Bankhead this year, tickets for this show are already nearly sold out.
