Bruce Cockburn

Cockburn, who won the inaugural People’s Voice Award at the Folk Alliance International conference in February and will be inducted into the
Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame in September, continues to find inspiration in the world around him and channel those ideas into songs. “My
job is to try and trap the spirits of things in the scratches of pen on paper and the pulling of notes out of metal,” he once noted. More than forty years
after embarking on his singer-songwriting career, Cockburn keeps kicking at the darkness so that it might bleed daylight.
