Bruce & Scott met circa 1975 in Greensboro, NC. Bruce had been writing & performing his original songs & poetry for a few years; Scott was just getting started with his career in music. They hung out with a cast of colorful characters (including the poet Jim Young and musician Billy Ransom Hobbs)...and performed a bit in the Tate St. venues. On a different note, Scott's photography appears on Bruce's album "Fringeland" (Flyin' Cloud Records). Scott left Greensboro in 1983...their paths crossed a few times after that but it wasn't until 2009 that Bruce & Scott reconnected "on-stage"; audience response was overwhelmingly positive. Their careers may have taken them in very different directions...but they share much common ground and interests including roots & folk music, jazz & blues, beat poetry, lyrical imagery and story telling through words and music.
