About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

Thank you for looking into having live music for your event. My name is Bruce Brill. I'm a singer/guitarist/writer and live in Oakland, California. I play music and teach guitar around the Bay Area including San Francisco, Berkeley, San Jose, Marin, Sacramento and Napa. I cover all styles of music from classical and jazz to pop, rock, Latin and flamenco. When I'm not performing a gig, I play weekends at a restaurant in the Piedmont area if you wish to meet and hear me play. I also perform stand-up around the Bay Area and incorporate comedy with music if the client feels it suitable for the occasion. I tailor every event to the client's wishes making it special and memorable for them and their guests.

Review by Mary B.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on November 13, 2024From San Francisco, CA

Bruce played guitar for my daughter's wedding at San Francisco City Hall in October, 2024. From the start, he was extremely responsive, humorous yet professional, friendly and helpful. Communication was excellent. He plays there often and supported my daughter and son-in-law in how a wedding at this venue works. Bruce has a wonderful playlist and was also very willing to learn songs they hoped to hear at their wedding. His guitar music is beautiful and complemented our whole experience wonderfully. He even helped record the event! I recommend Bruce Brill highly for your music event needs. He is an awesome ally, resource and musician.

Bruce Brill:

Mary, thank you for taking the time to leave that way over the top review. You are way too kind! Take care, Bruce

Memorial ServiceReviewed on November 12, 2024From Kenwood, CA

We love having Bruce play for our events! This is the 2nd time we've hired him this year. He is easy to work with, and such a talented musician. I'd recommend him for anyone wanting live guitar music, he can really play!

WeddingReviewed on November 4, 2024From San Francisco, CA

We were absolutely thrilled with Bruce's performance at our wedding. Not only was he incredibly talented, but he was also incredibly accommodating and easy to work with with proactive and effective communication. Bruce was more than willing to learn specific songs that were important to us. His musical talent elevated our ceremony to a truly unforgettable experience. Beyond his musical abilities, Bruce's friendly and professional demeanor made him a pleasure to have at our wedding. He was willing to go the extra mile, and we wholeheartedly recommend Bruce to anyone looking for a talented and personable musician for their special event.

Bruce Brill:

Hi Monica! Thank you so much for sending in that exceptional, over-the-top, flattering review to the Bash! Nowadays people are very busy & it means a great deal to me that you took the time. Please say hello to Chaz for me. Take care & have a great Thanksgiving & Holiday Season, Bruce
