Cohen has been playing and writing for the guitar for more than thirty years. As an accompanist, he is always looking for something to engage the listener - a clever twist, an unusual chord or a poignant harmony. As a performer, his attention to detail is what truly distinguishes him, as his playing is characterized by technical precision and exquisite tone. Cohen has played and toured all over the U.S. and Canada,. and currently lives on the Cape where he is a mainstay on the local music scene. In addition to accompanying fiddlers, he is a regular accompanist of renowned folk singer Priscilla Herdman and plays with the Martha's Vineyard-based group The Misfits of Avalon.
