Bruce Cockburn will look back at Luminato
James Bradshaw / Globe and Mail
Forty years after his first solo album dropped, legendary Canadian artist Bruce Cockburn will take a look back at his storied career – live, with a little help from some friends.
The singer-songwriter is a headline attraction for Toronto’s fourth annual Luminato Festival in June, when he will join an array of other musicians to pay tribute to, well, himself. For the first time, The Canadian Songbook, a popular Luminato mainstay that gathers artists to celebrate a renowned Canadian musician with inventive covers of his or her work, will include the person being celebrated.
“ The first time I heard people do my stuff, it was a bit like the first time I heard my own voice played back to me from a tape recorder. You sort of go, ‘Whoa, that’s a totally weird perspective.’
