Bruce Thompson (Middle Grove, NY) started playing music in elementary school, first on violin and later on guitar and dobro. Influenced by acoustic folk and bluegrass and a love for improvisation, he earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Jazz Composition at the Berklee College of Music and played various music styles in the Boston area for ten years. After moving to Saratoga County, NY he raised a family and made music at community, family, and school events. In 2020 Bruce returned to his love of acoustic music, teaching at Caffe Lena in Saratoga Springs where he is a fixture in the local bluegrass community.
“Bruce has a deep toolbox of learning and practice tracks; he’s extremely patient; he has a vast repertoire; and in general he’s just great vibes.”
“Bruce has a natural gift for teaching. His calm demeanor and contagious laugh make everyone feel comfortable while learning. We leave each session so thankful.”
