Echoes Across the Border: Laurel Canyon and the Northern Connection

In collaboration with the Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music (BSACAM), the National Music Centre (NMC) brings notable speakers to Calgary to explore the cultural synergies between Canadian and American music.

Echoes Across the Border: Laurel Canyon and the Northern Connection brings together industry leaders to discuss how cross-border Canadian-U.S. influences have shaped generations of artists, with a special focus on the '60s and '70s Laurel Canyon era, where songwriting visionaries like Joni Mitchell and Neil Young made their mark at home and beyond.
