Bruce’s musical roots can be traced back to the 1950’s and include a love of Pop, Rock,
Country, Bluegrass and Reggae. He started his musical career at 16, drumming in a cover band
and picked up guitar a couple years later. In college Bruce began performing regularly and
once opened a show for the legendary B.B. King. After graduating he joined up with his buddy
Rick Taylor to form the Atlanta-based Indie Rock band, Right as Rain.
This band released two albums on DB Records. Right as Rain
performed at the historic CBGB’s in New York City and Austin’s South
by Southwest music festival.

After leaving Atlanta for the west, Bruce spent 1997-2011 playing and
recording with multiple regional Montana bands. At the same time, he
continued to work on his solo act. In 2010 he released Acousticana, his first album of original
tunes. The next ten years, Bruce performed along Florida’s Treasure
coast. In 2019, Bruce opened for John McEuen, of the iconic Nitty
Gritty Dirt Band. John invited Bruce up to join in the encore, Will The
Circle be Unbroken—truly a memorable musical experience.Bruce is currently working on an album of original songs to be
released in fall, 2022. These songs blend a serving of rootsy folk with a dash of electric guitar,
covered in a twangy Americana sauce, a combination inspired by musical heroes—The
Beatles, Bill Monroe, Bob Marley, Flatt and Scruggs, Bruce Cockburn, Dan Fogelberg, and
more. He enjoys mixing traditional acoustic classics with originals, old country and quirky
obscure tunes that you need to hear. Come see what he’s all about. You’ll leave with a smile on
your face.
