Bruce Williams
	Bruce is one of the most versatile and serious writers in the performing arts of Texas. He began his musical career while in high school by playing and writing music. As a member of the band “Eastborne”, he wrote most of the original material the band performed in the Metroplex Area, including performances at the infamous Cellar in Fort Worth and Dallas. He moved to San Diego in 1973 to attend college and majored in music until 1976. In 1978 after a two-year period of working in Alaska at Prudoe Bay on the pipeline, he moved to Denton, Texas to finish his music degree at North Texas State. As part of the popular trio, “Williams, Scott, and Arnett”, he has continued to write and perform and since 1989 has been pursuing a career as a soloist. Bruce has headlined at the Caravan of Dreams where he opened for many national touring acts including Loudon Wainwright III, Micheal McMurtry, John Martyn, John Cale, Sara Hickman, Tori Amos, John Ims, and Graham Parker. As a musician he has played on the Sound Warehouse stage at the Dallas Starplex for such major artists in concert as, Larry Carlton / Bella Fleck, Dwight Yoakum, and Luther Vandross. In 1995 he was invited to perform at the Ballad Tree at the Kerrville Folk Festival during the Memorial Day Weekend. His style of songwriting is contemporary folk, and he is an accomplished writer of several plays “I Ain’t Got No Home”, about the life and times of Woody Guthrie, “Oneself I Sing” about Walt Whitman, and the award winning play “New Lives”, to name a few. In collaboration with Kerri Kreiman and Contemporary Dance Fort Worth the dance production of “Whitman, Guthrie, and Dylan” was performed at the Bath House in Dallas, the Scott Theater in Fort Worth, and the Corsicana Theater in Corsicana.
