Uploaded By ► Red Grey Matter ''Enjoy Your Day'' Buy Album: ''Misspent Youth'' About, Bruce Marshall took up guitar in 1966 at age 12 when his father gave him his ¾ Kay acoustic. He grew up in a musical household, both parents and the 4 Marshall children were always singing, playing guitar and piano and their parents taught them vocal harmony at a young age. Like many of his peers, seeing the Beatles on Ed Sullivan was a watershed moment and Bruce absorbed the sounds from that era, especially vocal groups like The Rascals, Beach Boys, Everly Brothers and Buffalo Springfield. When he discovered the likes of Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, BB King and Muddy Waters, Marshall developed a love of soul music and the blues. He turned to music full time about a year out of High School with Whitecap, his first professional band. The Sudbury MA native honed his craft in juke joints and gin mills for 7 very formative years and about this time started writing his own music. In the early 80’s Bruce Marshall and the Clue emerged, a five piece band assembled around a batch of original songs Bruce had written that touched on his love of R and B, Blues and Pop. The band developed a loyal following in NE and hit the road non-stop for most of the decade while headlining the top venues in greater Boston and beyond. The Clue put out a vinyl EP “Prove It” on ATM Records in ’87, appeared on numerous compilation albums including “Boston Does the Beatles” and shared the stage with James Brown, Gregg Allman, Todd Rundgren, The Beach Boys, Kenny Loggins, Orleans and Hot Tuna, among others. By 1989 Bruce had accepted an invitation to join the Toy Caldwell Band. Toy was the founder, lead guitarist and primary songwriter for the Marshall Tucker Band, one of the top groups in the country in the 70’s. Caldwell started the Toy Caldwell Band shortly after leaving Marshall Tucker in ’84 and 5 years later hired Bruce Marshall to sing lead, play keyboards and guitar. The band toured with Lynyrd Skynyrd, Charlie Daniels and The Outlaws when they weren’t headlining their own shows and festivals. During this time the band recorded a Bruce Marshall original “Welcome to the Human Race” with platinum producer Paul Hornsby and it appeared on Marshall’s 2nd release in ’92. The next studio release was 2010’s “Misspent Youth” for more : Lyrics: You know i'd never hurt you, babe I'd never steer you wrong I would never jeopardize or compromise the love That keeps us strong And i know this life can get a little crazy I know this week that you seem sad I know sometimes i'm a stubborn man I'd never treat you better With my conscience is my witness, baby This i swear to you From right now. Until forever Will be steadfast and true With my conscience as my witness baby I will stand by you From now to the end of time We both got a second chance We were way too young the first time But the second time's the chime baby I knew it when i saw those sea blue eyes But sometimes i may have to travel I know sometimes you'll be gone But there's nothing or no one that could come between us baby Could ever do us harm With my conscience as my witness baby This i swear to you From right now. Until forever We'll be steadfast and true With my conscience is my witness baby I will stand by you from now to the end of time, ah when you find that special somebody Join the ranks of the lucky few That's something you can't take for granted But it's been so long overdue I hope you got no regrets maybe And you believe me when i say With my conscience it's my witness baby This i swear to you Will be steadfast and true With my conscience as my witness baby I will stand by you From now to the end of time i will stand by you With my conscience is my witness babe With my conscience is my witness baby With my conscience as my witness pain I will stand by you From now to the end of time,oh Welcome to Red Grey Matter Club!
