Bruce Helgeson

Anderson, SC Bruce focuses on delivering a unique guitar voice. He is a refined performing guitarist with a strong background in arranging, composition, theory and practical experience. He has warm, full tone, and chord-melody lines fluid with eloquent phrasing. At any moment this might contrast to his dexterity with angular, bop driven lines that swing hard and deep. Born in Joliet, Illinois (Chicago-land), Bruce began playing trumpet at age 10. He took up guitar after a short residence in Manhattan’s Lower East Side at age 15. After hearing unique sounds on Bleeker Street, Washington Square and The Café Wha, the trumpet took a back seat as he emulated the sounds of Duane Allman and pioneered a music theory course in high school
