BRUCE THORN

About Me

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 [email protected] 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.
