Bruce Cockburn

Celebrated Canadian singer-songwriter Bruce Cockburn comes to South Orange in support of his memoir Rumours of Glory (Harper Collins) and an 8 CD & 1 DVD companion set also titled Rumours of Glory. Bruce’s songs, along with his humanitarian work, have brought him a long list of honors, including 13 Juno Awards, an induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, a Governor General’s Performing Arts Award and several international awards. In 1982, he was made a Member of the Order of Canada and was promoted to Officer in 2002. Last year, the Luminato Festival honored Cockburn’s extensive songbook with a tribute concert featuring such varied guests as jazz guitarist Michael Occhipinti, folk-rapper Buck 65, country rockers Blackie and The Rodeo Kings, country-folk singers Sylvia Tyson and Amelia Curran, pop artists the Barenaked Ladies and Hawksley Workman, and folk-pop trio The Wailin’ Jennys.
