BIO:
This lanky pushover makes art for your ears using his cello and voice as core instruments for songwriting. Components of his style are pulled from classical music, pop, folk, avant-garde, world music, and jazz. Cooke’s recordings also employ piano and percussion. The piano was his first instrument, which he began playing at age 5, and picked up the cello at age 11. In a live setting, he accompanies himself using a loop pedal to layer his cello. Paying special attention to innovative meter, chord progression, and melody, the Denver-based musician breeds a truly original and moving type of music. Thanks for listening.
Here are two videos from the upcoming Ian Cooke DVD!

Ian, thanks again for the awesome show here in Bonita! Your music/art/poetry is brilliant. Keep up the great work. If you're ever in the area don't hesitate to pop in for another house show.
Soooo giddy about your shows in LA- it will be so nice to get a Colorado breath of fresh air from your sweet voice. Hope the trip out here is joyous and filled with feasts for your eyes- lemme know if you need help finding places to stay. See you soon!
