from Spotlight Conversations · host Donna Reed

In the studio this week with Bruce Blackman, lead singer from the iconic 70's band 'Starbuck' - talking about his music then and now - including his new single 'Jones About You'. Once you start listening to Bruce's story, you get the feeling this guy isn't slowing down for anything! We talk about how he met his college sweetheart (and the inspiration for the hit single 'Moonlight Feels Right') to his continued success on the Yacht Rock charts, the backstory on the members of his band and more. We also discuss songwriting, music charting and knowing why it's important for all talent to understand the music business as well. From his early days touring with the Electric Light Orchestra (ELO), KC and The Sunshine Band and Boston; to a discussion about his memoir; the southern rock and disco music era, and his thoughts on music streaming, Bruce gives an entertaining interview about why his unique music journey feels right. Bring along your love of 70's tunes and join us.
