BRUCE PRESSLEY
Drummer Bruce Pressley’s first “tour
of duty” with Mick Martin and the Blues Rockers was
in 1999, following the release of “Winning Hand”
when their drummer at the time was under doctor’s
care. It was all too brief, according to Martin. “Bruce
is a drummer who can handle many styles. From
blues shuffles to modern beats, he’s a chameleon,
which is what we need. Our goal is to keep audiences
entertained and make them want to get up and dance.
Bruce has that ability.” As leader of Bruneau Gold,
Bruce toured the U.S. in the late 1970s. Bruce is
also known for his on-stage work and special guest
recordings with another SAMMIE Hall of Fame
band, the ever-popular Beer Dawgs (1996-1998).
“Bruce fit in so well during his short stint, I told him
he’d always be a Blues Rocker,” Martin said. “Now
it’s permanent, and we couldn’t be happier.”
