Following years of singing and playing a variety of instruments in countless ensembles, Bruce Salmon (Brewski Salmineo) is touring sans accompaniment for the first time. There are stories to tell: tales of whiskey, clowns, and love won and lost. Songs of dreaming in the face of survival; prayers for rain as the dog days approach; odes to relaxation and celebrations of every breath. Stories informed by travels all across the world, by train, truck, bus, and plane. Touring musician, chef, bus driver, carnie, teacher, audio engineer and more; these rich endeavors have woven a vast tapestry of experience, tales longing to be told. Born in New Orleans, based in Texas for most of his musical career. He’s played bass, guitars, keyboards, and brass in a broad range of styles and bands, ranging from funk (Joe Rockhead), Texas punk/ jack of all trades (Alejandro Escovedo), and street brass band (Minor Mishap Marching Band). The last 6 years have been devoted to pursuing the study of the eastern European styles of his grandfather, traveling and studying in Mexico, Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, and more with his companions in the bands The Inheritance, Mazel Tov Kocktail Hour, and THAT Damned Band, all of whom he also serves as producer. Now he’s ready to reclaim the English language and tell us where he’s been. We’re in for a treat… A Texas troubadour, by way of New Orleans, and the old world…;
