In honour of A Man Called Wrycraft
No, “A Tribute To A Tribute To…” is not the typo you may think it is. This tribute to the iconic Canadian artist Bruce Cockburn is a long-overdue reprise of a previously scheduled Hugh’s Room Live concert curated by the late, great, Michael Wrycraft. We lost Michael in May of 2022. By “we”, we mean the entire Canadian music industry and beyond. In addition to his multiple awards and nominations for his music artwork, not mention his irrepressible personality, Michael curated many shows for Hugh’s Room Live, so the very least we could do was make sure this one happened.
Join us at Revival on March 9th for this musical tribute to one of Canada’s finest artists. As his own biography states:
Throughout his career, Cockburn has deftly captured the joy, pain, fear, and faith of human experience in song. Whether singing about retreating to the country or going up against chaos, tackling imperialist lies or embracing ecclesiastical truths, he has always expressed a tough yet hopeful stance: to kick at the darkness till it bleeds daylight. “We can’t settle for things as they are,” he once warned. “If you don’t tackle the problems, they’re going to get worse.”
Featured musicians in this very special performance will include: Josh Finlayson & Andy Maze of the Skydiggers, Don Ross, Rebecca Campbell, Michael Occhipinti with more to be announced soon.
