Since the release of his first album in April 1986, Bruce Hornsby has created a musical life that has expanded far and wide to include a broad stylistic range of activity. Hornsby, a thirteen-time Grammy nominee and three-time Grammy winner, exploded onto the music scene with his hit “The Way It Is,” a thoughtful social commentary and introspective pop masterpiece.
Since then, the introspective singer-songwriter has sold over 11 million records, and collaborated with artists such as Bob Dylan, Don Henley, the Grateful Dead, Bob Seger, Crosby Stills and Nash, Stevie Nicks, Bonnie Raitt, Shawn Colvin, Bela Fleck, Clint Black, Ricky Skaggs, Randy Scruggs, and Willie Nelson. “Thoughtful, Southern-rooted songwriting...sophisticated and moody,” hails The New York Times.
In 1989, Hornsby co-wrote the classic “The End of the Innocence” with Don Henley, a Top 10 hit, and in 1999, Tupac Shakur collaborated with Hornsby to co-write “Changes,” a worldwide hit that borrowed elements from the original “The Way It Is.”
