Bruce Markow
Bruce Markow’s Folk’n’Roll sows lyrical melodies and a poetic, uplifting message in a soul-gratifying garden of smart and evocative songs. Multi-instrumental prowess, steeped in traditional folk, 60’s pop, gypsy swing, JS Bach and Afro-Brazilia, and an expressive voice fans have likened to Van Morrison's, James Taylor's and Todd Rundgren's, spice Bruce’s “Demolicious4” and “Mango” solo CDs and his performances and recordings with Paul Winter, Pete Seeger and many others. Bruce’s songs evoke the wonders and woes of growing more fully alive; he conveys both the deep human capacity for joy and our hunger for a world of greater peace, truth and love. Singer Vance Gilbert calls Bruce’s music "Hot! Amazingly tasty!" and filmmaker Mitch Teplitsky declares it "infectious, irresistible, memorable and tons of fun." www.brucemarkow.com
