Ben Bruce is a singer and songwriter in Seattle, WA. “His 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 with blinding insight and singing simple songs full of tender vibrations, Bruce showed himself a tunesmith to keep an eye on” — Jambase.com His music is rooted in the sound of classic seventies rock and roll, with a special focus on lean poetry and deceptively simple songwriting. The child of a musical conductor and a soprano soloist (and brother of a trained opera singer), Bruce has always been the rebel in a family of musical traditionalists. "One Blue Sky", the first single from Bruce's latest album was released on Oct. 29, 2024. As he describes it, "'One Blue Sky' is an anthem shouting into the void that no matter what we are told, we are all together on this adventure. Let's rock!" The cleverly titled Ben Bruce was released on Feb. 27, 2014. A collaboration between Bruce and guitarist and producer RL Heyer, there is a gritty hopefulness buried in these tunes that the world needs today – a message that without darkness there is no light. His first album, Sylvanus was released in 2004 and reflects the belief that we are responsible for our own destinies – but also that we belong to the future and not the past. No matter how dark or depressing, there is always the opportunity to make a change.
