Bruce Marshall Group with Britt Connors and Bourbon Renewal at Cotuit Center for the Arts
Cotuit Center for the Arts presents the Bruce Marshall Group in concert on Saturday, January 30, at
7:30 PM. Special guests Britt Connors and Bourbon Renewal will open the show.
The Bruce Marshall Group brings an exciting mix of original material, rooted in the blues R&B, rock,
and Southern boogie. “We love to mix it up,” said Marshall, “building an upbeat sound with dynamics
and layering, or playing concise arrangements of our songs with discipline and taste.”
The interplay between Marshall and his longtime guitarist Dave Cournoyer is the heart and soul of
the band’s performances. They work together like a well-oiled machine, with their double leads,
“tradin’ licks” and bringing the jam side of the band to the forefront.
Marshall formed the band in 1991; they released their first CD the following year, and followed that
up with three additional albums, including “Misspent Youth” in 2010.
Marshall has shared the stage with over 250 national acts. He was on the road for most of the 1980s
with Bruce Marshall and the Clue, a popular Boston. In 1989, he joined forces with Toy Caldwell of
the Marshall Tucker Band, and they toured the US in support of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels, and
the Outlaws. In the 1990s, Marshall formed a duo with his old friend and bluesman James
Montgomery and they have performed together for over 20 years, including a very well-received
concert last year at Cotuit Center for the Arts.
Singer-songwriter Britt Connors blends blues, folk, and country with jazz and pop. Her debut album,
“The Bad Side of Good,” was praised for Connors’ “pitch perfect voice and smartly written songs”
that show an “amazing versatility in a broad range of styles.”
Connors has built a loyal following in the Boston area, performing at top venues in the city and
throughout New England. Her recent album, “Warmer Season,” showcases her “folksy charm and
then sucker-punches you with her amazing pipes.” It includes clapping, foot-stomping, and even
some whistling, creating its own category of “Y’all-Ternative” music.
Tickets are $28, $25 for seniors and veterans, and $23 for members. Premium tables with wine are
available. Cotuit Center for the Arts is at 4404 Route 28, in Cotuit. For more information, visit
