Bruce Cockburn Tickets

Sadly, Bruce Cockburn is losing some physical capacities (he came onstage with canes, and explained that arthritis had forced him to change his guitar-playing), but he was still incredibly good at guitar-playing, singing, and, after all these years, songwriting. He played some old favourites that got the crowd singing along (best crowd vocals I've heard maybe ever), but he played most of the songs from his 2023 album, and they were just as good and well-received as the old stuff. The fact that he is still writing great songs into his seventies is fantastic, and you could tell the crowd was just loving it. This venue is always great and he had amazing art from his new album hanging above him. Bravo Bruce!

What's not to like... Still got it. New album material was great.

Bruce was really really good! He sang some old and some new, he was charming and engaging. Rude people yelled out requests, it was obnoxious but he tolerated it well. Bruce is 78 years old, clearly father time hasn’t been that kind, his bones hollowed out his fingers not cooperating . He said I don’t give a flying f&@, and he hit the stage and gave us what we came for, beautiful music. Bruce gave us his all, he was amazing! Yes I’m a huge fan, my kids not so much, but I dragged them along. In the end though they bought his vinyl so they are converts now! Bruce killed it! Thank you:)

When I think of Bruce, I typically think of his political and environmental activism expressed through his extraordinary musical talent. His new album O Sun O Moon which he is currently touring, doesn't shy away from his values or beliefs, but it goes further in revealing the heart and soul of a man who has made a profound impact on the music of our time. With heart stopping simplicity, Bruce alone, sings and plays his collection of songs, with glorious harmonics in his playing and sobering authenticity of his lyrics. I felt like I was in a church of sorts, a moment of pause in a distressing world where Bruce generously indulged the audience with his grace, his appreciation and his truths acquired and refined throughout a life time. Our party described the concert as a long drink of smooth whisky or being embraced in a warm blanket. But beyond that we heard in his music, the connection not just between past and present, but also to a future rooted in kindness. Three days on and we continue to experience the beauty of what was a historic concert of a lifetime. Our deepest appreciation to Bruce for all of it.

A very low key concert experience. It’s Bruce all by himself with only his guitar. No big screen, no pyrotechnics, just one of the best guitar players in the world doing his thing. Certainly those who have been fans of Bruce in the 70’s will appreciate the deep cuts and new stuff. I’m a fan of the Stealing Fire period but that is just a moment of time in Bruce’s career so I knew only 3 songs. But I enjoyed watching him play and listening to a still powerful voice for a 78 year old. The concert had an intimate feel to it given Bruce’s easy rapport with the audience.

Bruce still has the most powerful voice and words in his songs to share. Deeply moving and Spiritual- I could have listened forever. even with arthritis, his picking skills are incredible..See him if you can, you will be thrilled you did.

Bruce Cockburn is a good musician. He plays music well.

Despite the ravages of arthritis, an amazing performance - he handled his instruments better than I could even dream of doing - and his voice is as strong as ever - only wish he had done more of his earlier songs, eg. Pacing the Cage.

The Best! A very personal show from a statesman of Canadian music

Cockburn was fantastic. Engaging and his voice was timeless.
