SEEKING

ABOUT

Copying records is my specialty, seems like most people want to hear their favorite songs just like the recording. I've been in 50s, 60s & 70s bands for many years, mostly dance music. I know all the standards from these years and substitute as well in a few local oldies bands. Electric guitar is my go to, but I've added acoustic in the last 10 years. I've performed solo and with a duo on acoustic. I regularly post acoustic songs at acousticbruce dot com and there's a link to some of my electric work I'm a fast learner and dedicated to making good music. I sing lead and love to harmonize. It's all about pleasing the audience.
