Music

A multi-talented musician with over 30 albums to his credit, Bruce Cockburn is one of Canada's foremost and most respected artist. The singer's music, based primarily on folk and rock melodies, often features a cocktail of several other musical styles including jazz, blues and reggae. An Officer of the Order of Canada, Bruce's songs often have political and social overtones. A consummate performer with a deft musical sensibility and immense charm, Bruce has over the years captured the hearts and minds of audiences around the world. With his shows even now being characterized with teeming masses and acute ticket shortages, Bruce Cookburn never fails to satisfy his audiences with his musical ingenuity.

Since 1970, when his debut self-tilted album was released, Bruce has grown immensely as an artist. This first album received rave reviews for its awe-inspiring guitar tones and dramatic songwriting skills and with every successive album, Bruce added textures and new sounds to his styling. While most of the albums released in the 70s were influenced by religion and mysticism, his later work showed more politically motivated and socially relevant nuances. However, the one thing that is constant in all his work is his unbridled appetite for experimentation and his dislike for being typecast or slotted in any particular style. If some albums tended towards gentle and introspective folk, then others were more adventurous and bold - the Jazz based "In the Falling Dark", "Humans" with its hard, rock edged style and the electric guitar and drums approach of "Inner City Front". With hits like "Wondering Where the Lions Are", "If I Had A Rocket Launcher" and "Last Night Of the World", Bruce ingrained himself into the public consciousness.
Following fan requests, several of Bruce's earlier works were re-released with additional tracks in 2002.

Performing with conviction, Bruce's verbal imagery and musical talent mesmerizes his audiences leaving them begging for more. To experience the master musician at his spellbinding best, book your tickets to his show online today, before the limited few are snapped up by adoring fans.
