Tom Cochrane with Red Rider

Over the course of a long and illustrious career now spanning more than 40 years, Tom Cochrane has covered more terrain than the Franklin expedition. From early beginnings as a folk-based singer/songwriter playing the coffee houses of Toronto’s famed Yorkville scene in the early ’70s, Tom became the driving force in adventurous rockers Red Rider prior to achieving massive international success (over six million copies sold worldwide and diamond-sales status at home) with breakthrough 1991 album Mad Mad World and its anthemic hit “Life Is A Highway.”
