BRUCE McCUMSTIE
A “TRUE BLUE” AUSSIE BOY FROM THE BUSH The “True Blue” Aussie face tells a story of a life enriched by the highs and lows of farming, rodeo, mustering and even club & pub management. A lifetime of experiences expressed through his songs and love and commitment to true country music. That’s our Australian Singer /Songwriter Bruce McCumstie. Bruce’s “TRUE BLUE” persona spans a career performing all around our beautiful country, Australia. Not the least of which was four continuous years and over 900 shows of his all Australian presentation, "Throw the Billy On", in the Hunter Valley Vineyards entertaining tourists from around Australia and all over the world. His new show "AUSTRALIA- Songs of our Home and Heritage" is the very essence of everything Australian with Bruce performing from across the years of Australian Music. Country of course, all Australian definitely and including songs that are more widely recognised as popular music rather than strictly country. “WILLIE” - THE OTHER “HAT”
Bruce’s lifelong admiration for the great Willie Nelson has given him another “hat” of being acclaimed as the best Willie Nelson tribute performer in the world.
A quote from someone who knows: “When Bruce McCumstie walks on stage to perform his tribute to Willie Nelson, close your eyes for a moment to listen...and you will hear Willie Nelson singing. When you next open your eyes you will almost be able to hear AND see Willie Nelson, as personified by Bruce McCumstie. The show is truly great entertainment...and Bruce always delivers a most impressive and believable performance in his tribute to the "real life" Willie Nelson. What a show! I reckon that Willie and his fans might agree, as well. “ Larry Muhoberac (Composer, Arranger & Musician to a host of super-stars including Willie Nelson, Elvis Presley, Neil Diamond, Henry Mancini and many many others)
His WILLIE NELSON performances include SELLOUT shows at Crown Casino in Melbourne and Burswood Casino in Perth. His production shows , "Luv Ya Willie", "Stardust" , “Legends of Country” and also "Willie and Kris" with Bryen Willems as Kristofferson, have thrilled audiences across Australia. THE PERFORMER Bruce has performed at many festivals and events throughout Australian during his career, including main stage for the first fourteen Gympie Musters and almost every Tamworth Country Music Festival since the beginning. Over the past ten years, as well as all his production show performances, Bruce has made popular festival appearances at the Tamworth, Central Coast, Cessnock and Port Stephens Blue Water Country Music Festivals, The Stockman’s Hall of Fame 20th Drovers’ Reunion and at the Gympie Muster 25th Anniversary. Bruce performs for festivals, events and corporate presentations with his authentic outback Australia show "AUSTRALIA" - Songs of Our Home and Heritage” and paying tribute to “WILLIE” with his special production shows and visiting guest spots celebrating the life and music of the great Willie Nelson and friends.
