One of Canada’s finest artists, Bruce Cockburn has enjoyed an illustrious career shaped by musical diversity.

His journey has seen him embrace many styles while travelling to such far-flung places as Guatemala, Mozambique, and Nepal, writing memorable songs about his ever-expanding world of wonders. “My job is to try and trap the spirit of things in the scratches of pen on paper and the pulling of notes out of metal.” That scratching and pulling has earned him high praise as an exceptional songwriter and revered guitarist.
