THE BRUCE MAIER BAND
I STARTED INTO THE MUSIC BUSINESS AT SEVEN ASPIRING TO MOVE TO NEW YORK CITY AND BECOME A DANCER AND SINGER ON THE BIG STAGES. OUR TROUPE PERFORMED USUALLY TWO SHOWS EVERY WEEK FOR SEVEN YEARS UNTIL; I GOT THE BUG!
MY PARENTS TOOK ME TO A COUNTRY FAIR WHERE I WITNESSED MY FIRST LIVE ROCK AND ROLL BAND. I WAS ALL IN AT THAT POINT AND SOON STARTED PLAYING GUITAR AND PUT TOGETHER A LITTLE FOUR - PIECE NEIGHBORHOOD GARAGE BAND WHICH EVOLVED INTO A REAL PROFESSION.
THROUGHOUT THE SEVENTIES AND INTO THE NINETIES I MADE MY LIVING AS A MUSICIAN AND SINGER. I FOUND MYSELF GETTING INVOLVED WITHRECORDING ENGINEERING, TELEVISION PRODUCTION AND EVENTUALLY OWNINGA SMALL STUDIO WHERE OVER THE YEARS I HAVE WRITTEN SOME 200 SONGS.
THE BRUCE MAIER BAND, OR “ BLUES BAND ‘ ALWAYS INCORPORATED MUCH OF MY ORIGINAL MUSIC INTO OUR SHOWS. THE BMBB IS NOW PLAYING AT LEAST SIX ORIGINALS PER SHOW.
I AM PROUDLY A MEMBER OF BOTH THE SOUTH SOUND BLUES ASSOCIATION AND THE WASHINGTON BLUES SOCIETY.
BORN IN PASADENA CA RESIDING NOW ON THE WEST COAST OF THE USA
INSTRUMENTS I PLAY ARE GUITARS, BASS, PIANO AND MANDOLIN

Have you ever noticed how a song can take you back to a time and place based on something special in your memory? That’s the theory behind “BackLash”. BackLash is a 5-piece cover band playing a variety of rock, country and blues music. Our selection of cover songs are classic hits that evoke good memories of another time and place. The band consists of Drums, Bass, Keyboard, two Guitars, Harmonica and four vocalists. The band has been together since 2011 playing throughout the South Sound and is based out of Olympia,Washington.
