I am a professional musician and have been performing for over 35 years. I am currently living in the Milwaukee area and lead my own band called Bruce Humphries and the Rockabilly Rebels. We perform my original compositions while throwing in some classic Sun Record songs from the likes of Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and Jerry Lee Lewis. To make myself more marketable I offer solo, duo and trio gigs to clients that don’t need/want a full band.

My musical taste consists of a mix of Old Country, Rockabilly, Rock and Roll and Punk Rock. Milwaukee's Shepard Express magazine described one of my recent releases as ‘humming along with a dark, driving, blues energy’.

One of my proudest moments in my music career was performing on a 2009 east coast tour with the Brian Setzer Orchestra where we played large, sold-out venues. Brian was the singer from the legendary 1980’s Neo-rockabilly band Stray Cats and was a huge influence so opening for him was an incredibly huge honor. I have shared the bill with other legendary acts like Hank Thompson, Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, Rosie Flores, Lee Rocker, Slim Jim Phantom and psycho-billy wild-man Hasil Adkins. I have performed at notable festivals Uno-A-Go-Go (Chicago), Coney Island Rockabilly Festival (Brooklyn) and Wisconsin’s own SYMCO.

In addition to my music career, I have a Masters in Fine Arts with a concentration in Sculpture and I have been teaching creativity to all age ranges for the past 25 years. I’ve worked with at-risk youth, elementary, junior high, high school, college and university students.
