Bruce Greaves is the eldest son of 14, from the famous family of Rusty Greaves - pioneer and father of country music in New Zealand. Bruce became a top rodeo rider and then took on breaking in horses as well as training and breeding racehorses.
Bruce has had a long musical career starting professionally at 18 when he formed his own band called the "Trendsetters" which was booked solidly for many years. Following this he formed another band called "Odd Man Out" and for 15 years we were booked 12
months in advance. Bruce entered the Golden Guitar Awards IN 1988 and won, as well as winning Entertainer of the Year. In 2003 he decided to make my first CD called "Country At Heart" which turned out to be a great success. In 2004 he went to Nashville to make my next CD called "Invisible Man". Five of these songs went to the Top 20 on the Indies chart. Other CDs followed, and in 2006 he traveled back to Nashville on tour singing with the likes of Freddie Hart, Hal Willis, Merle Haggards son, Wayne Gray and many more. He got to meet some of the best DJs in America and recorded new CD called Travelin Man, with five of the songs written by one of the best - Tommy Barnes from Nashville. He also recorded another called Classic Country for the traditional listeners. Since 2007 Bruce has released several more CDs and he has collaborated in a band with Karen Davy and his brother Reon Greaves.
Bruce also has his own recording studio.
