Bruce Cockburn Tickets

When an artist starts 20 minutes late with no explanation I'm already angry...we were there on time what's his problem?...then he played and is a very good guitar player although I'm not that crazy about the screaming as singing in places...then he takes a half hour break which I think is excessive...the part of the show after the break was better although I'm not sure the wind chimes play a role important enough to have 4 of them on the stage...he finally did sing two songs the audience was familiar with at the very end and did 3 encores which was nice...I expected to be blown away because I've been a fan since the 70s and Rumors of Glory days...but I never heard a familiar song until the end...well...you asked...ciao

The theatre was sold out and the audience response was exuberant and responsive! When he played his old tunes it had the great old time feeling of his 70s concerts.

What a wonderful night with Bruce he is an amazing guitar player and challenges every sense in your body. His lyrics are thought provoking and he spins stories that cause you to experience the smells and feelings of the lyrics. What a night!

absolutely amazing. sound was excellent, his playing was superb..he just gets better with age. good interaction with the audience and I've been to hundreds of concerts in my life but never to one with 4 encores!!!! What a treat !!

Bruce was fantastic. I have seen him many times and he never disappoints. We called him back for 3 encores. It was really nice seeing him in such a small venue. It is the first time since the 70's I have seen him by himself with no band. His new live cd features him by himself. I highly recommend Bruce Cockburn to people who like singer/songwriters.

This was the second time my boyfriend and I have gone to a Bruce Cockburn concert - we came from out of town for this show as we didn't want to miss the opportunity. The Studio at Hamilton Place is a great venue as it is large enough for the sound but also small enough that you feel intimate with the artist. Bruce sang a variey of old and new material to satisfy all fans. One in particular I liked was the song that was inspired by his participation at a ramp ceremony in Kandahar. He was also very generous with his encores.

The Bruce Cockburn show at The Studio in Hamilton was superb! He played, talked and wowed the crowd. It was one of the best shows I have ever been to.

A Canadian and Musical Great Bruce is still one of the best!

Bruce was truly at his best on Friday. Lots of standing ovations. Incredible guitar work. "Stolen Land" highlighted why I have always considered Bruce to be one of the worlds best guitarists. Nobody "sings with his guitar" like Bruce Coburn.

Went with a Bruce fan .First time. 3rd row centre.Was an acoustic set ,great stuff.He didn't play rocket launcer or tokyo ,the songs I was waiting for but I still really enoyed the show overall.

20 hours later and I am still mulling the spectacular performance by Bruce over in my mind. I think the audience was enamored with Bruce and his music as much as I was, since we called him back 4 times after his finale. Sitting 20 ft from the stage gave me the intimate experience of his relaxed demeanor and incredible guitar playing, and I easily imagined, if I closed my eyes, he was playing some tunes for friends, in my living room. It was a warm performance and as usual Bruce was witty and funny, while he shared bits of information about his songs, and his experiences, that led to him writing the songs he played for us. Thanks for sharing your gifts.

Bruce played a solid mix of new, old and "middle aged" songs. His trademark fingerstyle playing was on display, and his husky tenor was in fine form. What was really a delight, though, was his sense of humour and engagement with the audience in this wonderful little venue. A great show.

I was familiar with his work and talent and he showed excellence in both. Great to hear some new works as well as the known ones. He played for 4 1/2 hours, I lost count of the encores. Thanks Bruce.

Bruce Cockburn (solo) was in fine form; not surprisingly, his old standards held up very well; it was great to hear his new work, too, particularly the one he wrote after seeing a ramp ceremony in Afghanistan; very moving; overall, a fine and engaging show; his voice was strong (other than a few ill-advised ventures into a very high register) and I don't know how, but his guitar playing seemed to have improved! He was quite realxed and warm, and seemd to be enjoying himself up there. Personal preference - I much prefer to see him perform solo, rather than with a band, so I was in heaven. Only negative thing (and not within Bruce's control) - The Studio at Hamilton place needs to rethink this general admission policy - it can't be that difficult to assign numbers to rows and seats, afterall.

Watching Bruce Cockburn perform songs from his entire history is like a history of my life. His impeccable multi layered guitar playing was outstanding. His songs, ranging from Lovers in a Dangerous Time to If a Tree Falls, with Peggy's Kitchen Wall and Wondering Where the Lions Are thrown in for good measure, could do nothing but impress the entire audience. Bruce richly deserved all three encores that he was brought back for. Electric or solo acoustic, Mr. Cockburn is a complete performer.

Wonderful evening with Cockburn. great mix of old, "middle-age" (as he called it) and brand new songs. Such a fabulous musician and song writer.
