Whether performing classical, jazz, or folk music – or writing innovative works with electronics – Greg Bruce is an artist who defies convention. Based in St. John’s, NL, Canada, he is constantly searching for his own musical truth, breaking down genre barriers and creating new fusions on saxophone, clarinet, effects units, and tape media.

A pluralistic performer, improviser, composer, and technologist, Greg holds a Doctor of Musical Arts from the University of Toronto. Currently, he teaches Applied Music at the College of the North Atlantic in St. John’s, and is developing “feedback saxophone” hardware as a SSHRC postdoctoral scholar.

Greg has built a successful career as a freelancer and bandleader, best known for fronting the award-winning “folk-funk-jazz” group, Ouroboros. He has taught privately for over 20 years, worked as a per-course instructor at Memorial University, and has given numerous workshops and masterclasses.
