Bruce Bovee

I was raised in Detroit Michigan during the 60s and 70s.  I developed an interest in playing music at age 9.  I started out with horns and then quickly moved to the snare drum.  Eventually  I was able to put together a drum kit one piece at a time, as I "earned" them.  I played in our basement for hours every day.  When I was 14, I started a garage band with neighborhood buddies.  We played every chance we could, trying to imitate The Beatles, The Allman Brothers, Genesis, Deep Purple, Motown and everything in between.


I also played with all of the school bands.  I marched with my high school band and was lucky enough to perform in Europe in my senior year, giving me a wider interest in music.  In the late 90s I returned to my high school as percussion and drumline instructor for 6 years, which was a very rewarding experience.


Through the years I have played all types of music in various bands.  The biggest music influences for me have been big band, jazz/blues fusion, prog rock and southern rock - basically all music!
