I’m so happy to have today’s guest, speaking to us from the Isle of Wight in England, musician and songwriter Neil Fitzsimon of Fitzsimon and Brogan. Neil writes the songs and plays the guitars while the love of his life Bee Brogan does the incredible vocals.

Neil speaks names like Pat Collier. He’s the engineer/producer/musician that has a huge body of work, probably best known for “Walking On Sunshine” by Katrina and the Waves.

He mentions drummers Pete Thomas, who has worked extensively with Elvis Costello, and Woody (aka Michael "Woody" Woodmansey) the drums behind David Bowie.

Neil and I, and you, and everybody, are under lockdown. So, here’s Neil’s take on what’s happening where he is. Their single Screamersville drops mid May. That song and Soda Fountain are two of cuts from Fitzsimon and Brogan’s latest album coming out in July.  

Honor your future, it comes with a lifetime guarantee. This is Bruce Hilliard...over and out!

Bruce Hilliard

Born in Seattle, raised in Aberdeen WA, Bruce Hilliard is a singer, guitarist and songwriter with a song list influenced mostly by pop/folk rock of the 60s-80s. He has been an opener for Heart, the Ramones, Dr. Hook, Wishbone Ash and Eric Burdon.
Early in his career Bruce completed Bachelor Degrees in Music and Journalism from Washington State University and, while never allowing a hiatus from performing and songwriting, joined corporate America in marketing and sales. That rocky road led him back to his passion and now records and performs live and with great appreciation to be back in his jam.

His musician interview based show has featured recording artists including John Oates; Grand Funk Railroad’s frontman Mark Farner; Steve Fossen, bass player and co-founder of Heart; drummer Carmine Appice; and Dave Bickler, lead vocalist (Eye Of the Tiger) of Survivor. The weekly half hour show has over 181 episodes and is becoming a strong platform for musicians of all levels to showcase their music and their backstories.
