Bruce Shockley
After my tour of duty was complete, I went on to become a 5th grade band director in Palm Springs, CA where I taught approximately 1,000 students. During this time I continued my own musical education and performance, becoming proficient at playing many other instruments including saxophone, clarinet, and bassoon.
While on a visit to Nashville, TN I decided to broaden my musical experience by delving into the Country Music Genre and moved to the "Music City". During my twelve years there, I performed with several well-known artists such as Bryan White, Toby Keith, The Bellamy Brothers, The Randall Brothers, Lonestar, Steve Wariner, Charlie Daniels and The Marshall Tucker Band.
I am now living in Southwest Michigan where I run my recording studio and publishing company, Smooth Melon Publishing. I am also still teaching music to private students, as well as continuing my writing and performance.
