Hi! I'm Kristen Bruno of "Blues Matters" Lately I mainly write songs and perform locally without the group.
I am singer/songwriter/guitarist. I play acoustic, electric, slide and Dobro and a little pedal steel. I wrote both Razzle Dazzle Man and "Seven" at my kitchen table simultaneously on two seperate sheets of paper one in a few hours. “Razzle Dazzle Man” was voted the best blues song of the year by Songwriters Showcases of America in 2006. When I originally wrote and performed "Razzle Dazzle Man", some people gave me dirty looks like I was "unpatriotic" because I wanted peace, not war. I said I will keep playing it till they end the unfounded war. A year later we found that it was the terrorists, and not the country of Iraq which was to blame. I figured, "OK the truth is known, we made a mistake and I am sure we will get our miltary out of this country and concentrate on getting the terrorists. But I was wrong. They ignored the facts and kept on sending soldiers to die needlessly. Over 10 years later, I STILL play the song.

Yea, I really like Melissa Ferrick\'s stuff. Her music touches my almost impenatratable heart. Last year in passing I gave her one of our Blues Matters cds ( then called Bruno-DuMond). Melissa said \'It\'s ok, but not my kind of music\'. Oh well, win some lose some.! Guess she\'ll never become a Blues Matters fan. LOL
In any event, Ferrick\'s stuff is very good and if you ever have an opportunity to hear her play in your town, please see her. She strums that guitar like I did back in the 70\'s. No, even better! Fantastic. Ohhh, sweet youth!
