Bruce Greaves, born in Manurewa,
Auckland, New Zealand, eldest son of the legend, Rusty Greaves, a man
who broke the way for other
 country
singers from all around New Zealand to perform in Nashville, TN, U.S.A.
Himself performing 13 times on the Grand Ole Opry. Tex Ritter had
invited Rusty Greaves to sing on the Grand Ole Opry, and join the C.M.A
Board. Bruce, like his father, left home when he was 10 years old and
lived with his Uncle and Aunty on a farm in the far north of New Zealand
in a town called Kaitaia. Bruce learnt to be a farmer, milking cows,
breaking in land, feeding and caring for the animals. While doing this
he, also, went to school to further his education. It was a hard life,
but he enjoyed it. Bruce became an expert with horses, a top rodeo rider
and breaker. He, also, bread and trained thoroughbred horses. At the age
of 17 he came back to Auckland and became an apprentice cabinet maker.
Then, in becoming a builder with his father, learnt the art of building
houses. Now having his own successful building company for the last 30
years.
Rusty Greaves started the first Country Music club in New Zealand
in the 1950's, then in the early 1970's they started to spread round New
Zealand. Bruce started going to the club every week where he learnt to
get up on stage and sing in front of an audience. He learnt to play a
guitar by watching others, going home and practicing the chords he saw.
At the age of 19 he formed his own band called the "Trend Setters". The
band was very successful, booked out every week for 15 years playing in
the R.S.A's sport, socials, weddings etc. Bruce became a very good
yodeler and went on to win The New Zealand Golden Guitar awards. Then he
was off to Australia where he sang in most of the league clubs, where he
most definitely became an all round entertainer.
Bruce was married at the age of 21 & had 2 children, but the
marriage did not work out, and was divorced. He then met his loving
wife, Anne. They have now been married for 28 years and have 4 children.
Bruce's eldest son, Jason, is now recording in Australia - another very
good singer, of whom Bruce is very proud. Bruce is, also, the eldest son
of 14 children, who all sing, five of whom are also professional
entertainers. His brother Kevin Greaves is a singer in Nashville, TN,
U.S.A for the last 11 years - got to #2 on the charts and #1 in Europe.
Bruce made his first CD called COUNTRY AT HEART 3 years ago - a
very good traditional country music CD. This year Bruce decided to go to
the U.S.A where he stayed with his brother Kevin in Calafornia. While
there he sang at clubs with Kevin. Then they both went to Nashville.
There Bruce met some of the best talent in the world, and sang at
some of the clubs where he was a big success. While there he was able,
with the help of his brother, to gather up some of these talented
musician's, and with some of the best song writers in the U.S.A headed
off into Studio D. where he spent the next week, fifteen hours each day
recording his next CD called 'THE INVISIBLE MAN.' This CD was given a
high applause for being a well produced CD, where every song is a good
song - eight of these 12 songs being new releases. Bruce has another CD
