Free Downloads | 20 Days Of Bruce Hornsby

The folks behind quintessential Bruce Hornsby fan site Bruuuce.com have just started a series called 20 Days Of Bruce in which they will share twenty freely-downloadable audio of all 20 shows from Hornsby’s acclaimed run at Yoshi’s in 1998.

While the shows are available as free downloads, the site’s founders are encouraging fans to donate to three charitable causes:

* The Merlin Centre for Multiple Sclerosis Care

* The ALS Association in memory of their dear friend Melissa

* TWLOHA -“To Write Love On Her Arms”, an organisation dedicated to finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide.

Donations will be accepted via PayPal, or at special pages Bruuuce.org has set up at JustGiving and FirstGiving.

Today, Bruce’s early show from October 27, 1998 has been posted. Bruce played solo until Dave Ellis joined in for the last few minutes of the performance. In addition to the Yoshi’s run, Bruuuce.org plans to throw in some extra audio bonuses as well. There’s also plenty of other goodies as part of the 20-day promotion.

Keep your eyes on Bruuuce.com for the next 19 days to download a different show each day from the Yoshi’s run and be sure to donate to at least one of the most worthy causes listed above.
