Bruce James has shared stages with Jimmy Smith, Bernie Worrell, Burning Spear, Dr. John, The Last Poets, Hugh Masakela, Soullive, Guru, and Jurassic 5.
“a piano man that can swing and croon like Dr. John, or growl and stomp like Tom Waits.” -- The Austin Chonicle
"Bruce James has a deeply soulful set of lungs; at times [he] echoes Springsteen, Joe Cocker and Van Morrison while remaining true to himself.” -- Relix Magazine
“There’s something magical about a piano played with feeling. Bruce James provides that emotion on the keys and pairs it with an almost spiritual voice on Yours, Mine and the Truth. Recorded live in eight hours, the album brims with rock, gospel, R’B and soul tracks all featuring that captivating piano. Whether your into the gospel and blues, opener “This Time, “ or of the Tom Waits – like “Crazy to Think,” this is an album not to be missed.”

Bruce James "has one foot deeply rooted in southern gospel and soul music and the other planted solidly in Tom Waits and the Flaming Lips. His music actually says something." -- Austin Daze
