| Introduction | If all that we keep is the journey, then young Simon Henry Bruce already has his hands full. At age 22, Simon has toured the world playing for thousands of audiences and has created a following of diehard fans of all ages and in every continent. Growing up in Melbourne, Australia, he began writing original songs and listening The Beatles. Tom Petty, Neil Young, and Bob Dylan. During high school, Bruce moved to Sydney and was soon lugging his guitar and repertoire, busking up and down the local weekend markets. At 15, he spent a few months in the UK busking through Bath, York and London. "That was a real experience, I loved it. I was playing a lot of folk songs, Dylan tunes, waltzes and that was the real start for me. Returning to Australia, he played at the Tamworth festival and then made musical history as the youngest musician invited to play the South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas. Bruce landed a high-profile support slot touring the US with John Hiatt, playing among other venues, the Bitter End in New York. He also toured Dido, playing to more than 200 different audiences. |
