Artist description The original music performed by Bruce & Barb is written with one very specific purpose in mind - to challenge the listener. Couple with soundtracks, Barb plays piano and Bruce plays bass. Their music isn't meant to imitate or mirror anothers work but, it's not consciously avoided either. Barb simply tries to write music from the heart that is, further, defined musically by the personal tastes and backgrounds of the performers.

Press Reviews GOSPEL SOURCE - "...the music is bright and refreshing...The music was written by Barb and has deep roots in the scriptures. My favorite was "I'm A Witness" taken from Acts 26:16."U.S. GOSPEL NEWS - "...all music is well-written and well-presented...a good selection of original material, delivered in a professional manner. "I'm A Witness" is an up-beat, exciting song that would be well-received on Gospel radio!"GOSPEL SOURCE - "...not only is this lady a talented singer, but a great songwriter as well. This is evident in the title song of this project, "Buildin' Me Up". She does a great job on this well-written song. I thought she had done her best when belting out "Ain't No Grave", but then I heard the best song on her project...but listen and pick one for yourself. It won't be easy, they are all good."
