Personal profile
An expressive singer and rock-solid guitarist (flat-pick & fingerstyle), Bruce sports an extensive repertoire spanning an array of Roots Music genres and styles. He has written hundreds of songs and performed at thousands of venues, ranging from coffee houses and folk clubs to a Canada Day performance on Parliament Hill. Bruce is regularly a featured artist at festivals, concerts, arts presentations, community and corporate events. He has performed in eight Canadian Provinces and one Territory, 38 US States and has toured the United Kingdom on a dozen occasions. Since recording his first LP in 1984, he has recorded 14 albums of his original and adapted traditional music across a broad range of the Roots Music genre. Bruce might be best recognised for his historically based ballads, written on Pacific Canadian themes. He has been the composer and lead singer of Tiller’s Folly for over two decades. Quotes: "It is the common place things that occur almost unnoticed which Coughlan brings to conscious thought that makes us appreciate the beauty that we might have otherwise missed." Nancy Vivolo - Victory Review "His words and melodies are at once populist, minimally produced and poignant while at the same time singularly powerful and sincere." Tom May, River City Folk (NPR)
