Bruce is a native of Williamsburg, Virginia. A singer-songwriter and pianist, his music draws from classical, jazz, bluegrass, folk, Motown, gospel, rock, blues, and jam band musical traditions. He has been awarded three Grammy Awards over the course of his career. The first, in 1987 for Best New Artist with Bruce Hornsby and the Range, the 1990 Grammy Award for Best Bluegrass Album and the 1994 Grammy Award for Best Pop Instrumental Performance. His 22nd album will be released later this month. Bruce has worked with his touring band Bruce Hornsby and the Noisemakers and his bluegrass project with Ricky Skaggs and has worked as a session and guest musician on countless recordings. He was a touring member of the Grateful Dead from September 1990 to March 1992. In 2004, Bruce invited Eric Clapton to join him in the studio. The result was three tracks on Bruce’s album, Halcyon Days. Five years later, Eric played on the track “Space is the Place” from Bruce’s album, Levitate. In September 2009, Eric made a rare US television appearance to perform the track with Bruce on the Jay Leno Show.

ABOUT TURN UP FOR RECOVERY
Turn up for Recovery is a charitable movement aiming to raise awareness of abstinence-based recovery, tackle the stigma of addiction and help make treatment affordable to people struggling with alcohol and drug addiction. The idea for Turn up for Recovery (TUFR) came to founder, Melia Clapton, while walking her dog. She wanted to tackle the stigma around addiction and alcoholism and raise awareness about the power of abstinence based recovery. It’s a topic very close to her heart, having supported family members throughout their recovery. Her vision is for an inclusive community of artists, music lovers and those affected by addiction coming together to have a good time, talk about recovery and raise money for others to get the help that they need at Crossroads Centre Antigua. Melia announced the movement in September 2019 during Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival. It has been gaining momentum ever since.
