Bruce performed at the first festival, back in 1997, and has played at all but a few since. One of Atlantic Canada’s most successful songwriters, Bruce has done it all; awards, national television show, over a decade of sold out songwriter circles, 20 years on the road as front man for Scottish supergroup Runrig. All that aside, nothing brings more pride than watching the careers of his children Dylan and Jodi flourish. Seeing them perform as a trio on the 2022 mainstage was a special moment, one that warrants repeating in 2023.
