The Bruce Marshall Group Comes to Brighton, 10/28

New England blues legend Bruce Marshall formed the Bruce Marshall GROUP in 1991 and has been performing and recording steadily throughout the US since their inception. Bruce has shared the stage with over 150 national acts, was a former member of The Toy Caldwell Band (formed from members of Marshall Tucker) and toured with Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Outlaws and Charlie Daniels. The 4-piece band takes its listeners on a soaring ride through their 6 CD's in addition to putting out a healthy dose of Toy Caldwell songs from the Marshall Tucker catalog. The 2-guitar attack with Bruce and ace Dave Cournoyer has been going strong for 16 years and they're locked in tight. Bruce is an ASCAP award-winning songwriter, and has just released his 6th record, "Misspent Youth". It's currently enjoying extensive airplay and excellent reviews.

Since 1994 Bruce has also performed as a duo with Blues Harmonica Legend James Montgomery. They have released 2 CD's, headlined national shows and was nominated for a Boston Music Award.

Bruce has represented New England twice at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, placed songs in film, won 2 Blues Audience Magazine Readers Poll Awards and was the vocalist for WB Mason Extra Innings on NESN TV 3 years running. Bruce is in his 37th year of full time music-making, and he has played over 7,000 shows with no signs of ever slowing down.
