  • Bruce Cockburn ... 8pm, Friday, May. 10th, Hering Aud
    With over 25 albums to his credit, Bruce Cockburn is a veteran of the music business.  His latest CD “Life Short Call Now” has just been nominated for four Canadian Folk Music Awards.  Bruce will spend most of this year traveling starting with a trip to Nepal in November, so we feel very lucky to be one of the very few concerts he has booked this year.  Plus this will be a rare solo acoustic show.
