Bruce Delbridge is Manuel, and Manuel is Bruce Delbridge. A long story but it has to do with youthful adventures in South America. He's brought that music to Alaska though the song her is one of his own. Besides writing songs, Bruee is an accomplished harmonica player and also plays various stringed instruments and the pan pipes.

Steve Brown's 2nd CD in as many years. He and the Bailers are rippin' it up everywhere they play. Incredible songwriter, engaging performer, expert carpenter (he built our equipment rack at the Planet) and all around nice guy. The Bailers are fine folks and the cream of the crop of Fairbanks' musicians.
