Come hear some great music this Saturday, June 13th, at the 2009 AZ Salsa Festival! I will be backing up Tito Rojas and also performing with the Jaleo Band. The gig is at "The Venue of Scottsdale". (7117 E 3rd Ave, Scottsdale)

Sweet March

noreply@blogger.com (Bruce Hembd) — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 14:14:00 +0000

The Temptations are always fun to play with! (Hello "Tuscaloosa Horns"!)

Manhatten Transfer sounded great and Frankie Valli's show is a blast at the Dodge Theater.

Shining Star, The Hamptons, and Mexsal will round it all up with only two more weekends of the Renaissance Festival.

Not to mention my B-day that I almost forgot about - ever do that?

"Hello" to Jessica! Great to hear from you!

1st blog

noreply@blogger.com (Bruce Hembd) — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 13:23:00 +0000

This is the first weekend of the Renn. Fest. and day two looks like it is going to be very wet! I am glad to be inside playing the variety show.

This week I am playing a few shows for National Performing Artists (I forgot who the act is) and Friday I am playing a big Valentine's show at the Glendale Arena.

I wish it was this busy in the summer!

AZ MusicTeacher.com Opens

Thanks to a friend who is a web designer, I have a new web site!

I have created this site to fill a small void. Occasionally, band parents and kids want to know more about me and my freelance activities (music contractors too).

Now, with this brand-spanking new web site, anyone with Internet access can get the scoop.

Over time, I hope to add little items here and there to this blog to let everyone know how the school program is doing and to provide more information on my various musical activities.
