About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

Playing a diverse range of music, Richard Bruce entertains for private, corporate, and other events around the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. He is a full-time musician and performing music is his passion. He is flexible and accommodates most customer requests from providing ambient background music to being the 'life of the party' and engaging the crowd with his personality and leading them in sing-a-longs. He prides himself on being a top-class professional and playing music from every era and genre to keep all parts of his audience enjoying the music! He has played for weddings, corporate events and parties, engagement parties, birthday parties, graduations, backyard BBQ's, holiday parties, and more. The types of settings have ranged from quiet and sentimental to rocking and raucous affairs! He plays at many Santa Cruz Mountain wineries regularly, as well as wine bars, beer pubs, and night clubs throughout the Bay Area. He performs for many high-end corporate and private events yearly, providing clients and guests with the best live music experience! There are three types of performance he offers: 1. Singer / Guitarist Covering classics and current music with his own song renditions, he can be more of a background soundtrack for your event or the focal point as a dynamic entertainer. He can do both too if you prefer lighter ambient music for dinner or a cocktail hour / appetizer and then a more upbeat performance once the party gets going! 2. Guitarist Performing on acoustic guitar, he provides light, ambient, background music to set just the right mood for your event. 3. One Man Band An interactive performance with a large PA system, electric guitars, and a backing 'band' he brings on his computer, this is for the people who want to party! Get ready to dance, rock, and sing too because he brings extra microphones and an iPad with lyrics for your guests to sing the songs he plays - karaoke-style! TESTIMONIALS: “Richard is a great performer. He keeps the audience entertained and has done an excellent job with everything from the Bridal March to the Beatles to Johnny Cash. Doesn't hurt that he presents himself well, is punctual and polite, too. The Wedding Connection highly recommends him.” Denise Adesso – Wedding Planner, The Wedding Connection --------- “Rich was a huge hit at our team dinner hosted at a local winery – his interactive performance was not only entertaining but also very engaging. Whether they were singing along or just cheering for their colleagues everyone was involved. Many of the team rated the event the best team dinner ever.” Karen Hartsell – Marketing Director, Intuit --------- “Richard recently played at our company's party and he was a huge part of creating the desired atmosphere. We had around 200 people in attendance and he entertained our guests with his interactive act. He was great at reading the crowd and knowing what music to play when. Attendees throughout the night complemented Richard's talent and were amazed at the range of music he knows. We would most definitely hire Richard again for a ZURB event. He is a true talent!” Karynn and Bryan Zmijewski – ZURB --------- “Richard played at my surprise 50th Birthday party and was awesome! He played classic rock songs from the 70's, 80's, and 90's. My friends were singing along as he played and had a great time. Richard joined us for dinner and was very personable and a great addition to our party. He kept playing well beyond the contracted time and was really a big part of our event. We will definitely hire him again to play for our friends and would recommend him to all our friends.” Stan Vuckovich --------- “Hi Rich, I just wanted to thank you for the awesome job you did last night. Everyone kept commenting on how great you were, and we all had so much fun. Thanks for your help in making Dave's 40th so memorable. It was a wonderful time and your music was amazing!” Katie Orsburn --------- “My wife and I have an annual week at the coast with a fairly large group of friends and family renting houses along the beach in Aptos. As tradition has it our house puts on a “taco feed” night were we have dinner for everyone and party at our house. To spice things up we decided to have Rich come play this year. I have seen Rich play at local bars and knew everyone would enjoy it… as it turns out that was an understatement! We all like to have a good time but the party was certainly taken to another level. Rich has a wide variety of music and plays it all well. EVERYONE was coming up to me asking about him and wondering if we were going to have this as part of the yearly trip? It is a no brainer for sure! If you want to make your event an A+ have Rich play there.” Bruce Watson
