An Evening with Bruce Cockburn

For his many achievements, the Ottawa-born artist has been honoured with 13
Juno Awards, an induction into both the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the Canadian
Songwriters Hall of Fame, as well as the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award,
and has been made an Officer of the Order of Canada. But he never rests on his laurels.
“I’d rather think about what I’m going to do next,” says Cockburn. “My models for

graceful aging are guys like John Lee Hooker and Mississippi John Hurt, who never stop
working till they drop, as I fully expect to be doing, and just getting better as musicians
and as human beings.”

His commitment to growth has made Bruce Cockburn both an exemplary citizen and a legendary artist whose prized songbook will be celebrated for many years to come.
