Making Music!

from THRIVE Local Magazine March 2020

Bruce Cook is making music in Colorado! A native Californian, he has been married to his wife Holly for 21 years. Together they have five children, six grandchildren and two fur baby Shih Tzus. They live in a tiny home that they built together, Holly added her magical touch to create a dreamy and inviting home.

Ten years ago, Bruce and Holly were passing through Colorado. They thought "this is a nice place, let's move here, give it three years, and if we don't like it we can move back to California." Needless to say, like many other transplants, they fell in love with Colorado, planted their roots and stayed.

Bruce's music career started out when he was fourteen years old. "I saw the Beatles on TV and wanted to play", he explained. He and his friends started a band, so he learned the guitar and violin. "I did a paper route in order to save for a guitar which I eventually bought at a swap meet. It was a piece of junk Saint George. I worked to eventually buy a Fender guitar", he shared.

In his spare time he enjoys woodworking, building things and spending time with his family.

If you are lucky, you will spot Bruce at the Masonville Merchantile with has his guitar in hand, ready to play a tune or three. For fun you can find out where he is playing by going to his website at: brucecookintothenight.com.
