Bruce Cockburn Tickets

I've been following Bruck Cockburn for over 40 years. He is my favorite musician. This was a wonderful and intimate concert which combined very early and recent music.

Bruce is 78 years old and can outplay artists half his age. His voice is still strong. There he was on stage just by himself and carried the whole show and audience. Amazing.

The concert we saw in KCMo at the Delmar Hall 5/7 was one of the top two concerts of Bruce's that we've ever seen; the other fave concert was the one at 3rd and Lindsley in Nashville in 2006, where we were practically in the band's lap. We had really great seats, 4th row, L. aisle, so we were right in front of the dulcimer. The crowd was MOST definitely HIS peeps. The audience hung on every note, every syllable. It was really magical, and I found myself moved to tears more than a couple times during the show. SO beautiful. He seemed in SUPERB voice, and also seemed pretty darned relaxed and engaged with the audience often. I can't believe he's added another bunch of dates to this tour. Wowzer. He needs a Superman shirt.

At nearly 80 years old, Cockburn is at the perfect point in his career to share intimate details of the creation process, funny endearing details about each finely crafted masterpiece that will have you hanging on to every word between the songs, and inviting you to sing along with your favorites. He is undisputedly the grandfather of Canadian folk/pop, but the messages are clearly universal. His voice is like a warm cup of coffee, both familiar and stimulating. Conversational, intimate, humorous, he is the embodiment of David Letterman (if Dave had songwriting skills).

I've seen Bruce many times over the last 40 years, have met and talked with him on many of those occasions and had a chance to interview him at Verde Valley in the mid-90's. He is a gracious, open human and a great musician. The concert on the 28th was another in a string of always excellent offerings. Quiet and contemplative, he dipped in for some deep cuts, his voice was clear and his guitar work was beautiful. Though his body shows signs of a long life with a leg length discrepancy, when he sits down and plays it's as if 40 years drop away in an instant. Hard to believe he's going to be 79 this month! All in all a beautiful show that moved me to tears on numerous occasions!

Bruce Cockburn is an icon of the 70s folk rock movement. He has written provocative and emotional music for over 50 years. His new music is as socially relevant as any he has written. His voice is great live, and his guitar work is second to none. Don't miss a chance to see this living legend perform live.

Bruce is amazing. He continues to deliver is beautiful and powerful songs with his voice and guitar (and other instruments). The Rialto is a great old theatre, though a bit "close"with the folding chairs packed in. I will go out of my way to see concerts here, because it's always been a great experience.

I love the artist. But I was very uncomfortable with the venue. All the chairs are jammed together like a high school auditorium, or an EST seminar. at least there were plenty of stalls in the bathroom. I don’t like the policy that if you leave, you cannot re-enter.

Loved the 12 string piece. A little unenergized. Was my first listen of any of his music. Left at intermission. Should have picked the Saturday show.

This was an intimate career performance by Bruce, so personal and so loved by his audience. Such a master in his writing, playing and performance and such great reflections shared during it all. May the holy hermit staff, on and on and on Guide you to the shortest path, on and on for many a year! Let us go laughing.
