SUGO MUSIC GROUP

Bruce Kurnow has been recognized with four Minnesota Music Awards for his harmonica, stringed harp, and keyboard work. Since 1971 he has been an active studio musician, playing on hundreds of commercials, albums, and film scores. As a performer he has played with harmonica master Mojo Buford who dubbed Bruce “The Creeper”. He has toured extensively with Mason Proffit, and has worked with greats such as Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker. He co-founded the group Passage with guitarist Bobby Schnitzer. This project was followed up by membership in the Doug Maynard Band which included the original lead singer from Passage. In a recent Minneapolis Star and Tribune poll, both of these bands were honored as two of the seven greatest live Minnesota rock groups of the 70’s. Passage was recently inducted into the Minnesota Rock & Country Hall of Fame. Since leaving the Doug Maynard Band in the 80’s Bruce has pursued his solo career, performing as a singer/songwriter and also showcasing his unique simultaneous combination of stringed harp and harmonica. His diversity can be heard on any of the albums by Bruce Kurnow that we offer for you here!
