Bruce Cockburn

Friday, May 16, 2008 - 8:00pm

with special guest Catherine MacLellan

“The whole point of writing songs is to share experiences with people,” says Bruce Cockburn, looking back on a career that includes 26 albums, numerous international awards, including the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the Tenco Award for Lifetime Achievement in Italy, 20 gold and platinum records in Canada, and countless concert performances since he released his first solo work in 1970.

Cockburn's collected work is a journey-both moody and revelatory-into the dark night and the sweet laughter of the soul, around the world with vivid imagery and unflinching observations of human cruelty, greed, courage, and survival through faith, and back home to the peaceful forests and vibrant cities of his native Canada.

True North recording artist and Prince Edward Island, Canada, native Catherine MacLellan’s striking voice is pure and haunting, while, the subtle strengths of her deeply confessional, powerfully poetic songs emerge. Her critically acclaimed, acoustic, folk music has been embraced by the Atlantic Canadian audience since 2005.
