June 3, 2020Amazing Musician You Need To Book
Bruce recently played a surprise party for my friend. She was late to the surprise and he was willing to work with us! He was on time, presentable, friendly and just an all around pleasure as an added guest. There was only one song that I really requested, however, he did a play list that fit the mold without any direction. Book him for your next party because let's get real- Everyone loves a sax!! Thank you again Bruce for making a party so special and helping create a beautiful memory! I will recommend you to all.

Thank you Jamie! It was fun being part of your outdoor party, and what a beautiful day it was. It was moving seeing your friends emotional reaction to the song you asked me to play. I love moments like that.
