Mountain Stage will welcome back another long-time favorite in Canadian singer, songsmith and guitarist Bruce Cockburn, who returns Sunday June 4 at the Culture Center Theater.  Cockburn has appeared on Mountain Stage 13 times since 1990 and returns to the show for the first time since 2012.

In 2014 Cockburn released “Rumors of Glory” a 9 disc box set of his music, 117 songs in all, and a DVD called “Bruce Cockburn Live – The Slice O Life Tour.” These are a companion piece to his memoir of the same name, released worldwide by Harper Collins. Inside he writes “My songs are influenced by what I read, where I travel and what I witness.” He adds: “They’re not just about spirituality or “war, injustice and exploitation,” but “derive from life itself.” “

More guests will be added to the line-ups for both shows in the coming weeks. Subscribe to the Mountain Stage newsletter and follow on social media to keep up with the latest.

There are 10 Mountain Stage events on sale at this time, including THIS SUNDAY’S live show in Charleston, WV when we welcome guest-host Todd Burge along with Pokey LaFarge, Ruthie Foster, Fred Eaglesmith, Rose Cousins and RJ Cowdery.
