“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

* LETTER FROM ME / "Devilishly Handsome Host"
*****************************************************************

Hey everybody,

It’s been a hectic few weeks! I bet everyone feels that way this season, with the holidays hard on the heels of Thanksgiving. We spent a great weekend down in Ashland, OR with family.

Coming right up is the second ever Lone Microphone at Marcus’ Martini Heaven in Seattle! Dec. 8 I’ll be playing a short set at 9pm and hosting three amazing performers:

Olivia De La Cruz vs Andrew Vait vs Justin Kausal-Hayes

There are some great deals, too:

• LONE PENNY SHOTS at 9pm. Get a shot for a penny, at 9pm only!
• TWO TACOS FOR $2! All night long!
• SHOT OF TEQUILA AND A CAN OF TECATE FOR $5. All night long!

This is going to be fun. See you there!

Hey, if I don’t see you before the end of the year, have a happy holiday season and remember that on Dec. 21, the days start getting longer again!

– Ben
