Bruce Brown is a guitarist and songwriter based in Fairview, TN.

Bruce is probably best known for his thirty one year stint as a member of the Charlie

Daniels Band. During that time he recorded over twenty CDB albums offering up his

talents as a guitarist, songwriter and singer; plus doing television appearances,

music videos and countless live shows all over the world, including three trips to

Iraq to entertain troops.

He has also had success as a songwriter outside the CDB scoring three cuts with

Travis Tritt., one being the number one smash hit “TELL ME I WAS DREAMING”

which received the prestigious BMI million plays award. The video for the song

peaked at number one on CMT’s Top Twelve Countdown and stayed there for three

straight weeks.

At 14 years old Bruce started playing in bands covering the hits of the late sixties

and seventies. Learning to play and sing so many great songs from the era of AM

radio, was a priceless education that honed his skills as a player, singer and

songwriter. Players like Clapton, Page, and Santana led him to the blues of BB King,

and from there to Charlie Christian, Barney Kessel, and other jazz greats, including

Billie Holiday.

After extensive travelling playing the club scene Bruce settled in Nashville, TN in

1980.There he landed jobs as a sideman for artists Tommy Cash, Margo Smith, Rex

Allen Junior and Gail Davies. He was bandleader for country music star Mel

McDaniel for six years, appearing on television shows, recordings and several music

videos with him.

All the while Bruce was playing and singing on sessions and writing and demoing

his own songs.

In 1989 he was invited to audition for the Charlie Daniels Band. He got the gig and

immediately started recording the “SIMPLE MAN” album. The album reached

number two on the Billboard Magazine charts, propelled by the hit single of the

same name; which featured Bruce’s swampy delta slide lick as a recurring hook

throughout the song. He revisited that style when Bruce was asked to play a slide

version of the song “DIXIE” for the 2001 Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute film “ FREEBIRD:

THE MOVIE.”

For the last several years Bruce has been writing instrumental music for film and tv

He has had his music placed on Duck Dynasty, Pawn Stars, Auction Kings, Let’s Make

a Deal, The X Factor, Netflix ,Showtime, Fox, TLC, National Geographic and many

more.
