Greetings:

Bernie Finkelstein, Bruce's long-time manager, sent along this very
exciting news this morning:

"Great news.

We have a film crew with us on the road with an eye towards making two
projects:

1/ A "solo" concert film taken from the first five shows of this
current tour being shot in High Definition. Colin Linden is on
the road and is doing the sound for the "concert film" as well as the
"Live" CD. [editor: Colin Linden is a long-time associated of Bruce's
who's worked with him on many of his albums.]

2/ The beginning of Bruce Cockburn "bio" film that will use footage
shot during this current tour and lots of archival footage from all
periods of Bruce's career.

Just for clarity we will be shooting the shows in Northampton (both
shows), Boston, Ithaca, and Rochester as well as having the cameras on
the bus and backstage etc.

There is no release date at this point planned for either of the above
projects or the "Live CD". The shows will hopefully be aired on
TV stations around the world and of course on DVD."

So, for those of you who live outside of the touring route that Bruce
has taken over the past 35-40 years, here's your chance coming up to
finally see him 'live', and learn a bit more about him through this
biography.

We will keep you posted as we receive new information and updates.
Please visit http://www.cockburnproject.net to read about Bruce's
current humanitarian efforts, and to find out his current tour
schedule. As always, The Cockburn Project welcomes your archival
information to add to our collection for all to share.

Peace,
