I'm a self taught guitarist from Chicago with diverse influences, doing original instrumental music and available for solo performances. If you'd like to book me for your event, venue or party, then please contact bruce@brucethorn.com
I get the two part guitar sounds by playing live rhythms into an echoplex, which I then solo over. The basic groove leaves room for other people's imaginations to jump in. What sounds like bass is my thumb whacking the low E and A strings. There are lyrics for many of these songs.
I began studying music in the mid 90's, after a successful and continuing career as a visual artist. This music is a melodic expansion of themes confronted in painting, such as abstraction, color, tone, rhythm, shape, line and form. All of the paintings on this page are also my work.

Hi Bruce, All is just great here. Thanks for asking. Hope you're doing fine too and the world is treating you well. Keep making great music and spreading the truth! All The Best, Don
Thanks Bruce, all is well, painting like mad and getting into shape! Let me know when you play again, and I plan to check out your new recordings this weekend. I always did work my heart way too hard. my best Ted
