Biografía
In 1984, Hornsby formed Bruce Hornsby and the Range, and the band was signed to RCA Records the following year. They released the song “The Way It Is” which made it to the top spot of the Billboard 200 chart in 1986. It has since been sampled by a handful of rap artists most notably, Tupac Shakur. When the album was released soon after, the album became a multi platinum selling album and was responsible for another top five hit entitled “Mandolin Rain”. The band would go on to win the Grammy Award for ‘Best New Artist’ in 1987.
“Scenes From the Southside” was a different slant, and a natural progression in the music that they made. It was released in 1988 and featured the single “The Valley Road”, which led the band to success, making it to number 5 in the Billboard Hot 100 chart and number 2 in Canada. The album itself made it to number 5 in the Billboard 200 whilst 18 in the UK Album Chart. “A Night on the Town”, which was released in 1990 made it to number 20 in the US and number 23 in the UK.
April 6th 1993 saw the release of “Harbor Lights” an album released by Bruce Hornsby as an artist in his own right, going to number 46 in the Billboard 200 and 32 in the UK Albums Chart. It featured the single “Across the River” which peaked at number 18 in the US Chart and number 1 in Canada. Hornsby had a song “Set Me in Motion” feature on the original soundtrack of the film, Backdraft in 1991. Hornsby didn’t maintain the commercial success of his previous released after “Hot House” which was his last album to chart in the Billboard 200 chart. He has however had many releases as a collaborative effort with his contemporaries, and of course has the Grammy Awards on his shelf for ‘Best Bluegrass Album’ and ‘Best Pop instrumental Performance’.
Críticas en vivo
An incredibly talented musician and a multi instrumentalist, Bruce Hornsby’s performances ranging from elements of classical piano, to jazz, right through to folk, and jam band are always something spectacular. The multi-genre musician has picked up many awards for his original fusion of styles, and is accredited for his talent internationally.
My favourite of all of his music has always been the incredible piano playing his offers to his audience. Live performances by Hornsby never disappoint, whether he’s behind the piano, on the banjo, or taking a solo vocal spot, the energy he brings to each craft is unique and passionate. The music is an innate part of his being, and his talent to translate it to a mesmerised crowd is something that few musicians are capable of.
Seeing Hornsby play with Ricky Skaggs is also an amazing element to his music. Their folk blend washes over the audience, and their playful puns with each other encourage the playful dynamic of the performances. As a live musician, Bruce’s talent resonates and empowers the spectators, and it is evident how much he enjoys his craft and ability to please a crowd. Don’t miss your chance to see one of the most talented musicians of this generation perform live.

Bruce Randall Hornsby has enjoyed huge critical praise over the years for the style of his live performance. In a world where everything is meticulously planned and bands recycle the same setlist night after night, it is great to see an artist injecting some much needed spontaneity into his shows. If you're one of his many fans, buying tickets to the show feels like something of a gamble as you have no idea if Bruce will reach on your favourite tracks for this performance even if they are the most well known.
He sits proudly behind the piano and begins his animated playing style crossing the boundaries of classical, bluesgrass, jazz, folk, rock and blues. It would seem there is nothing Bruce cannot do and as he is joined by a group of talented backing musicians who also meander the styles with a total professionalism. He eventually bids the crowd a good night with an immaculate rendition of 'What the Hell Happened' before they beckon him back to encore with their rapturous applause and he has saved a cover of 'Standing on the Moon' by frequent collaborators Grateful Dead and his own solo track 'Halcyon Days'.

Hornsby was brilliant. He played everything we wanted to hear as well as drawing from his immense catalogue of music. The virtuosity was compelling to listen to, but unfortunately some members of the audience felt they should step on the music unnecessarily while it was being performed. The venue, while small, was very appropriate for the artist and solo nature of his performance.

There were no Noisemakers; just him and his piano (clear misnomer on ticket). Woman behind me was snoring at one point as one song went on for 13 minutes and no one recognized it. Just wasn't what I was expected and the price was too much. Very disappointed.

I saw him several years ago at a former movie theater in Dallas. I found his show very enjoyable and would go see him again. His piano solo on "Just the Way It Is" blew me away!
