Bruce Cockburn

"My job is to try and trap the spirit of things in the scratches of pen on paper and
the pulling of notes out of metal." - Bruce Cockburn, 2017
One of Canada's finest artists, Bruce Cockburn has enjoyed an illustrious career
shaped by politics, spirituality, and musical diversity. The Ottawa-born artist
remains deeply respected for his activism on issues from native rights and land
mines to the environment and Third World debt, working for organizations such as
Oxfam, Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, and Friends of the Earth.
His remarkable journey has seen him embrace folk, jazz, rock, and worldbeat styles
while travelling to such far-flung places as Guatemala, Mali, Mozambique, and
Nepal, and writing memorable songs about his ever-expanding world of wonders.
Bruce Cockburn has written more than 400 songs on 35 albums over a career
spanning more than 50 years, of which 23 have received gold or platinum
certification. His guitar playing, both acoustic and electric, has placed him in the
company of the world's top instrumentalists. He has sold more than nine-million
albums worldwide, and has been honoured with 13 JUNO Awards, an induction into
both the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame,
as well as the Governor General's Performing Arts Award, and he has been made an
Officer of the Order of Canada.
His commitment to growth has made Bruce Cockburn both an exemplary citizen
and a legendary artist whose prized songbook will be celebrated for many years to
come. In 2020 Cockburn celebrated his 50-year anniversary as a recording artist. As
his producer-friend Colin Linden says: "Like the great blues players he admires,
Bruce just gets better with age.
Abraham Alexander

Born in Greece to parents of Nigerian descent, Abraham Alexander moved to Texas with his family at age 11, determined to escape the racial tensions they faced in Athens. But while his lyrics speak to pain and trauma and life-changing loss, Alexander instills his music with a joyful passion and irrepressible spirit, ultimately giving way to songs that radiate undeniable hope.
In the making of his debut EP, Alexander traveled from Fort Worth to London and worked with producer/songwriters like Cameron Warren (The Dap Kings, Dan Caplen), shaping his songs with elements of soul, hip-hop, and blues. He is currently working on his follow-up album.
