Artist History Certainly the 20 gold and platinum records and 10 Juno awards are a testament to Bruce Cockburn's significant presence on the landscape of popular culture. The sold-out concert appearances and high-profile recognition from his peers are evidence enough of an individual who continues to challenge himself and his audience with every new endeavor, be it musical, social, personal, or political. In addition to Bruce's accomplished musicianship, his presence at the forefront of human rights activism and role as a spokesman for environmental issues are among the many critical elements of a distinguished thirty year career. In 1997, Bruce was presented an Honorary Doctor of Music Degree by the Berklee College of Music, where he studied jazz composition.
