DESCRIPTION:
I have been performing in the North Texas region for almost 30 years. I received my bachelors degree in classical guitar performance at MSU in Wichita Falls and my masters at UNT in Denton. My playing is tinged with many styles besides classical. They include jazz, latin jazz, pop, rock and new age. As a performer, I have played in a variety of settings from weddings and private dinner parties to country and western shows and fund raisers. Having arranged numerous popular tunes for the classical guitar, I can arrange your favorite tune to make your event a special one.If you require a jazz combo, my group Havona may suit your needs.
Havona consists of 2 guitars and a bass. Music ranges from jazz standards like "All of Me" to Miles Davis' "So What." Havona can provide your event with that special touch to make it truly memorable.

Bruce was fantastic! He was extremely accommodating during the planning of my wedding, and agreed to all special requests made for personalizing our event. He arrived on time, in the proper attire, and played wonderfully through the whole affair. I am convinced that his talent is unequaled in the North Texas area. Booking Bruce should be the easiest decision in planning your event.
Thanks, Bruce!

Bruce was a great addition to my friends wedding this past weekend. He had a broad repertoire of songs from which we picked out the ones we liked best. The songs were played perfectly and he timed them spot on with the various entrances and exits. We really appreciated the fact that he drove all the way out here to the metroplex from Wichita Falls (2+ hours) and arrived with all the necessary equipment and even his own Tuxedo! I highly recommend Bruce; he is extremely professional and talented. Bruce, thanks again for making a truly special occasion even more so. -Scott

Bruce was incredible. He played everything I asked of him and it was amazing. He showed up on time and in his tuxedo I asked him to wear for our wedding. He brought all his equipment to be prepared just in case he needed amplification or could play without it depending on the size of the room.
If you don't want to worry about "the music" part of your wedding
just hire Bruce and your done.
