The Joe Cocker Express is an extraordinary tribute show that takes audiences on a journey through the legendary career of Joe Cocker, capturing the essence of two defining eras in his life. Fronted by Jason Kafoa, whose powerful, gritty vocals naturally echo Cocker's unmistakable sound, the show is delivered with authenticity, passion and deep respect for the music. The first act explores the soulful, polished sound of Cocker's later years - known as The Englishman - featuring iconic hits including Up Where We Belong, Unchain My Heart and You Can Leave Your Hat On. The second act transports audiences back to the raw energy of the late 1960s and 70s with classics such as Feelin' Alright, The Letter and With a Little Help from My Friends, capturing the spirit of Woodstock and the legendary Mad Dogs & Englishmen tour. Don't miss this unforgettable celebration of one of rock and soul's greatest voices, brought to life by an outstanding live band and a frontman whose passion for Joe Cocker's music shines through every performance.
