Biography
From Bruce Kaphan’s MySpace page:
You may have seen my name in album credits for American Music Club, Sheryl Crow, The Black Crowes, R.E.M., John Lee Hooker, Chris Isaak, Francesco De Gregori, Love & Rockets, Red House Painters and many others. Or you may have caught one of the live or television performances of David Byrne’s Feelings tour. Or Jewel’s Saturday Night Live or MTV Unplugged appearances, or one of American Music Club’s many live shows in support of the albums Everclear, Mercury or San Francisco. Maybe you saw the film Masked & Anonymous (staring Bob Dylan and many others…) and heard my underscore. Or perhaps you’ve seen my name in production or engineering credits on a wide variety of independent artists. Or perhaps you’ve read one of the many articles I’ve written for Recording Magazine. Or perhaps you’ve heard a cut from my solo album Slider- Ambient Excursions for Pedal Steel Guitar- following are some excerpts from reviews of this album:
* Kaphan makes Zen music for dustbowl airports. Bewitching instrumentals, sweet dreams of light and flight in which Kaphan’s licks ring like prayer bells across an open Texas plain. - Rolling Stone Magazine
* This record is amazing. - Peter Buck (R.E.M.)
* An ambitious and groundbreaking effort… langorous, soulful expressivity. – The San Francisco Bay Guardian
* Kaphan pioneered new territory for the pedal steel in the’90’s with alt-rock cult faves American Music Club (not to mention supporting Chris Isaak, REM, John Lee Hooker, David Byrne and others), where he quickly liberated the instrument from Nashville stereotypes.
