We are pleased that two legendary artists, Bruce Cockburn and Nanci Griffith, headline the 2008 Denver Folk & Roots Music Festival.

Bruce Cockburn's collected work is a journey-both moody and revelatory-into the dark night and the sweet laughter of the soul, traveling around the world with vivid imagery and unflinching observations of the human condition. Over the years, artists as diverse as Barenaked Ladies, Jimmy Buffett, Anne Murray, Maria Muldaur, The Rankins, Dan Fogelberg, Holly Near and Chet Atkins have interpreted Cockburn's work, and he was particularly flattered to have his "Waiting for a Miracle" covered by Jerry Garcia.

Nanci Griffith's admirers are legion (Bob Dylan specifically requested that she sing "Boots of Spanish Leather" at his historic Madison Square Garden anniversary concert), and she has penned some of country music's most enduring compositions, including Emmylou Harris' and Willie Nelson's "Gulf Coast Highway," Kathy Mattea's "Love at the Five and Dime" and "Listen to the Radio," and Suzy Bogguss' "Outbound Plane." A survivor of breast cancer and thyroid cancer, she has continued to lend her aid to various charities, including Campaign for a Landmine-Free World.
