Undoubtedly, LouFest has been a long time in the making, a journey of sorts for Cohen, but - hot damn! - it's a journey that will soon be fully realized. And what better way to celebrate that journey than curating an exclusive playlist? Seems reasonable. Luckily, Cohen has shared his journey mixtape (featuring lots of LouFest artists) with us.
Cohen explains, "With the festival only a month away, I find myself thinking more and more about journeys. Striking out, undertaking new things, leaving your comfort zone - all without knowing if you'll come out whole on the other side. These songs remind me of the challenges in life that need to be embraced at all costs."
