Michael Bruce -(Original Alice Cooper Guitarist) withPrima Donna Rising
About this Event
!ONE NIGHT ONLY! Catch Michael Bruce l-Alice Cooper's legendary guitarist and songwriter...and oh yeah Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame member live at the Whisky on Thursday, November 12th! Michael started playing guitar and piano in early adolescence and was heavily influenced by the Beatles. In 1966, Bruce replaced John Tatum in popular Phoenix-based group The Spiders alongside Vincent Furnier, Glen Buxton, Dennis Dunaway, and John Speer. The group quickly established themselves as a top regional act, sharing the stage with such notable groups as The Yardbirds, The Animals, and The Hollies. After relocating to Los Angeles, the group rebranded themselves as the Nazz.
In 1968, after discovering that Todd Rundgren had formed a group called Nazz, Bruce and company changed the name of their project to Alice Cooper, reflecting the sardonic humor that characterized the group and their style. With Bruce's contributions as a songwriter, guitarist and keyboardist, the band released a string of hit albums in the 1970s, including , , , and .
Bruce's distinctive rhythm guitar riffs became an essential component of the group’s sound, and his songwriting skills added to the band's success. He was the sole composer of the songs "Be My Lover" and "Caught in a Dream", and he co-wrote many of the band's other famous hits, including "I'm Eighteen", "Under My Wheels", "School's Out", "No More Mr. Nice Guy" and "Billion Dollar Babies". Michael will be playing all of the Cooper classics as well of some of his incredible new material. Prima Donna Rising is "Caught In A Dream" to be sharing the stage with this Rock Icon!
