For many years, Bruce Edwards has been a “first call” guitarist in New York’s diverse music community.
His ability to change his style and sound to suit the moment has taken him from bluesy rock with G.E. Smith and Lenny Pickett of the Saturday Night Live band, to the avant-garde space music of jazz visionary Sun Ra, to accompanying R&B / hip-hop group Fatty Koo.
As a composer, arranger and musical director, Bruce was part of the development team for the Broadway musical Swing!, and has worked on plays by Diane McIntyre, Keith Glover and others. He has composed television and radio music for AT&T Japan, Johnson & Johnson, Sears and Fuji Film, and a PSA for Action Against Hunger that earned him a Telly Award in 2006.
He has composed and produced spots for TV Land, Nick at Nite and Nickelodeon, produced much of the underscore for MTV’s March Madness Uncensored and the Cribs DVD, and contributed music and sound design to the PBS documentary This Far by Faith.
All of that experience now goes into original music for television, film, advertising, video games and multimedia. With strong melodies and real emotional content, Bruce integrates music and sound design into your piece to enhance your message and move it forward — whether it’s film, advertising, sports or corporate video.
From his own project studio, Bruce delivers high-quality productions at competitive rates, with working relationships with many of the Tri-State area’s top instrumentalists and vocalists available for your project.
