I am a singer-songwriter in Woodstock GA looking to form a small contemporary folk band to support my upcoming album release Fall 2009. I am interested in getting together for a relaxed rehearsal over some of my songs to see if there is a comfortable fit in styles as well as future plans. I am looking for keys, percussion, bass, fiddle, mandolin, lead acoustic, and sax.

You can listen to more of my songs and learn a little more about my recording project at www.myspace.com/brucegibsonmusic.

My Bio:
Bruce is a singer-songwriter in the contemporary folk style. His music and performances are personal and relevant. Bruce steps up as the everyman—touching on the day-to-day struggle for balance between life’s grind and joys and family and dreams and love and hopes and a connection with your own personal god. Bruce’s upcoming album “Holding On to the Edge of the World” and his live performances deliver a blend of lyric and rhythm that is both toe-tapping and thought provoking.
Bruce lives in Woodstock, Georgia (just north of Atlanta) with his wife and boys and dog and cats. You can find him in local venues playing his Taylor several nights a week.

Early comments of Bruce’s style include: "feels in the vein of John Denver inspiration," "reminds me of Jim Averitt's sound," "very Jack Johnsonish," "very much reminds me of Crowded House," and "Nickel Creek reminds me of your stuff."

Reviews of Bruce's songs include "a definite knack for songwriting," "meaningful, personal," "very contemporary folk sounding," "sincere and important," "great mystical feel in lyric and music and rhythm," "meaningful lyric, good rhyming forms," "great stuff," and just "cool."
