Great entertainer

Mr Fite is a wonderfully entertaining professional. Even though there were few people at the event when he performed he acted as if the place was packed. His songs were funny and clever and the people loved him!

I plan to book him again next year!

What to expect

Bruce Fite's concerts are very much like a conversation between new-found friends. The audience gets to know Bruce, and he gets to know them through questions and stories threaded throughout his show. Bruce's concerts consist of original, catchy songs that involve the audience participating through singing along, clapping, and moving. Some are accompanied by just an acoustic guitar, and some with high quality, rockin' backing tracks coming through his sound system.
Here's what someone who hired Bruce had to say: "From the moment you sang your first song until the last tune was played, you had the entire school of kids totally enthralled with you! Even the 'too cool for school' 4th graders participated and were laughing and singing along! Our principal and teachers were so impressed that we have already made a unanimous decision to book you for next year. Booking was easy, and you were very flexible and accommodating for our special scheduling needs. Again, thank you!!"
