acoustic guitar rock by singer and songwriter ben bruce

honest songs, honestly sung

This hand-drawn image is inspired by Letter to a Young Poet, written by William Carlos Williams, in which he describes how all our efforts as writers and as men must be to release the enchained dragon within us.
Ben Bruce is a singer/songwriter playing what he terms “thinking rock,” on an old, beat down acoustic guitar. His music is alternately raucous, restrained and rare, but always raw.
Random listen (all songs):  
         

“Tender, nicely composed songs recalled John Denver and particularly Assembly of Dust’s Reid Genauer, who Bruce strongly resembled in both voice and all-out-there-on-the-stage delivery. Telling stories about faces in the fire with blinding insight and singing simple songs full of tender vibrations, Bruce showed himself a tunesmith to keep an eye on.” — Dennis Cook, Jambase.com
