TORONTO – OCTOBER 24, 2006 - The Canadian dates for Bruce Cockburn’s North American tour are seeing packed venues, double encores and five-star show reviews. Performing with Julie Wolf (Ani DiFranco) and Gary Craig (Blackie & The Rodeo Kings) critics are claiming that the songs off LIFE SHORT CALL NOW are some of Cockburn’s best material yet. This is Bruce Cockburn’s 29th release with appearances from Ani Difranco, Damhnait Doyle, Hawksley Workman and Ron Sexsmith.
Bruce had the number one video on BRAVO in Canada last week for the single Different When It Comes To You. A CP wire service story caused a buzz when it asked Cockburn what would you do if the Taliban invaded Canada? "I would enlist, some freedoms are worth defending, regardless of your personal beliefs about war" claimed Cockburn.
The LIFE SHORT CALL NOW tour hits Thunder Bay, Wednesday, October 25 then heads west to Saskatoon, Friday, October 27 and the Canadian tour finishes in Nanaimo on November 6.
Before Bruce embarks on the European dates, he makes a stop in Venezuela.
