Pamela Bruce

You can expect a beautiful, emotional sound and a repertoire list to keep everyone happy. I arrange most of my own music to adapt modern songs for the harp. It's fun to have guests guess what it is without the lyrics! I also play Irish, Classical, some jazz, disney, and traditional favorites.

During our conversation I'll ask which genre you prefer but I'm very good at reading the room providing the appropriate music.

You can also expect an organized, easy to reach professional. I have been doing this for a while and know the small details that need to be worked out ahead of time to create a smooth event.

I can take one (possibly two for wedding ceremonies) song request per event if it's outside of my repertoire list.

I also can provide discounted rates if hired for multiple sections (ceremony and cocktail hour for instance)

hi!
My name is Pamela I studied classical Piano during college and adapted my piano skills to offer this beautiful unique instrument. I love to blend genres of classical, irish, jazz, and modern. I use my arrangement skills to adapt full band modern song into fun solo songs for the harp. I offer a unique repertoire list that isn't seen to often in the harp world!

Take a look at my profile for info about set up requirements, gear, my two harps, sound equipment, etc. I'm always happy to talk and answer questions.

Let's talk gear and set up!

All I need from you is a space with electricity near by (unless you'd like acoustic) and a dry, level surface to play on.

For outdoor gigs: The harp needs to be out of direct sunlight and under cover (tent, EZ up, large umbrella). If it is perfectly blue skies I can play without cover in a shaded environment, but any potential sign of raindrops I will require coverage for safety of my harp and sound equipment.

Harps: I have two harps. You can see a side by side photo in my photo section of the difference. The Celtic harp is the smaller of the two. It's an Irish instrument and is great for events that need relocation during the performance and for outdoor gigs. The sound is beautiful. You can hear it on my videos.

The pedal harp is larger and has a more beautiful aesthetic. It is an antique pedal harp made in the 1940's. The main difference is the size. It is much larger! The sound is somewhat more powerful and round. Due to its size I charge a bit more for this harp and have to ask to be notified of stairs, elevators, dirt paths, cobblestone, etc. Anything that makes it difficult to roll a harp dolly through going from car to performance location.

Sound Equipment: Both harps have built in pick ups that run through a 1/4" jack. I have a speaker I usually bring but can also plug into a system if you have a DJ or sound guy on board.

Additional equipment rentals offered: wireless Microphone rentals for Ceremonies vows or an EZ up for small additional services/fees.

Ask for any additional questions!
