Bruce Hornsby has signed with 429 Records and is readying the release of “BRIDE OF THE NOISEMAKERS”—A 2CD collection of 25 handpicked songs chosen from throughout his multifaceted 20 year career.

“BRIDE OF THE NOISEMAKERS” was recorded live on tour between 2007 and 2009.  The live setting effectively captures the spirit of spontaneous creativity that Bruce and the band are renowned for.   For Hornsby the magic of live performance is paramount in his search for the perfect musical moment---particularly in conjunction with The Noisemakers, where he seamlessly combines elements of rock, jazz, r&b and modern classical music to create a distinctive style.

The epitome of a musical family, The Noisemakers consist of bassist J.V. Collier (who has played with Hornsby 17 years), keyboardist/organist John “JT” Thomas (21 years), reed player Bobby Read (18 years), guitarist/mandolin player Doug Derryberry (13 years) and drummer Sonny Emory (nine years).

“In the spirit of musical evolution, I’m always trying to keep my band on their toes,” Hornsby says. “I can be a slow learner, and sometimes it takes me a while to arrive at the most soulful way to play and sing one of my songs, or anyone’s song for that matter. Our approach to playing allows songs to grow, evolve and change through the years, and this second live album documents where that improvisatory mindset has led us up to this point.”
