The 13.76 million people who tuned in this past Wednesday night to watch David Letterman’s last show with celebrities including Alec Baldwin, Barbara Walters, Steve Martin, Jerry Seinfeld, Jim Carrey, Chris Rock, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Peyton Manning, Tina Fey, and Bill Murray, saw Bob Dylan pay a touching final tribute to him by singing the song, “The Night We Called It a Day.” It is already well known that Stephen Colbert has been selected to follow in David Letterman’s footsteps when his show begins on September 8. Not so well known is that one worthy contender to follow in Bob Dylan’s footsteps, as a truly remarkable and compelling singer-songwriter of our time, is a blossoming unassuming young singer-songwriter from Vermont now based in New York City – Phil Cohen – who is the featured guest on This Week on Alive with Clive this week and next.
In each of Phil Cohen’s two shows on Alive with Clive – The TV Show Where Today’s Top Singer-Songwriters Thrive, he performed five songs, and his debut performance on This Week on Alive with Clive can be seen until Wednesday, May 27, at 10 p.m. Eastern at http://alivewithclive.tv/this-week-on-alive-with-clive-2
“During his first interview on Alive with Clive, Phil Cohen paid tribute to Bob Dylan, saying he has been studying his lyrics for the past ten years,” says Clive Swersky, Host and Producer of the Show, “and so fans of Bob Dylan can appreciate and enjoy the influence Bob Dylan has had and is having on Phil Cohen’s songs from now on.”
Phil Cohen has recently qualified to be a nurse in New York, and so hospitals at which he works have the unique opportunity to tap into his ability to perform songs to raise the spirits of their patients and help them recover faster with the recognized power of music to heal.
Since 2007, Alive with Clive has been shining the spotlight on today’s top emerging and established singer-songwriters to give them more exposure for their music. To date, over 250 singer-songwriters have been featured on the show. In addition, more than 560 clips of songs performed on the show are available for viewing on The Alive with Clive TV Channel on YouTube, and they have received over 123,700 views.
Available on the Web at http://alivewithclive.tv, Alive with Clive has also been a long-standing alternative to American Idol and The Voice for music lovers to discover today’s exciting top new music talent.
Over the years, singer-songwriters from several different countries around the world have appeared on the Show, including singer-songwriters from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Colombia, France, Germany, Georgia, Ireland, Israel, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Sweden, and the United Kingdom.
With cutbacks for music programs in school budgets in the U.S., one mission of Alive with Clive is to inspire and encourage teenagers to nevertheless develop their talent as singer-songwriters and musicians so that they can uplift and bring joy to their communities in the way that today’s singer-songwriters who are featured on Alive with Clive do.
In keeping with this mission, Alec Chambers, a singer-songwriter now entering his 20’s with a sound like The Script, Ed Sheeran and One Direction, was featured on Alive with Clive within the past few weeks, and the singer-songwriter to be featured on This Week on Alive with Clive the week after next is Chloe Collins, a teenager with immense promise who is likely to remind music fans of Taylor Swift. In addition, another talented younger teenager, Amelia Rose Allen, who just received the “Artist of The Month” Award at The Bitter End in its singer-songwriter showcase series, is scheduled to appear on Alive with Clive soon.
Since it has been proven that the study of music helps to elevate levels of academic performance, another mission of Alive with Clive is to raise levels of academic achievement in schools by inspiring students to study and perform music.
