“Music Brings Us Together”Over the years Bruce and company have performed here at home, throughout California, the USA, and the world. Tourshave taken them to six continents that include China, Asia, Australia, Europe, North Africa, and to our Military Veteranshere at home, Iraq, Kuwait, and American Embassy in Cairo Egypt.Shanghai International Music Festival, and Festivals In CaliforniaPictures below shows Bruce walking down stage stairs as he prepares to hand off his guitar to be able towalk through the audience at the Shanghai International Music Festival Blue Stage. The crowds rangingfrom four to ten thousand would dance and sing along with Bruce and the band as he went from section tosection. This year's 7-day music festival in Century Park in Shanghai China had the highest attendance inits six year history bringing up to 55,000 daily.Zhangjiajie International Music WeekAt times Guynn sang in Chinese, but what may have really endeared Big Rain to the crowd is their rendition of 'Pung Yu ahPung Yu', which means 'Oh Friend Oh Friend' in Chinese. The band became a favorite, and one of those Artists that keptbringing the people out day after day helping the Festival surpass previous attendance records.If the idea of live music in the woods wets your whistle, the place to go is Zhangjiajie, in South China's HunanProvince whose biennial Zhangjiajie International Music Week, currently ongoing – has become a popular local eventwithin just two years. The half-dozen rugged stages are set up among the lakes, trees and city’s signature TianmenMountain but you won’t have to move around – the bands tour among the stages, which can be a challenge in itself.Travelling by boat on Baofeng Lake, rope bridge, telpher and foot along rocky mountain paths with instruments,often with a bit of extra rain thrown in, means the event must mean something special for the performers.“We’ve never thought of performing in such a great place with blue sky and green trees seeing so many travelersstop and gather in front of our stage [is] the biggest reward on this trip,” Bruce Guynn, lead vocalist, and founder ofBig Rain, told the Global Times. - Global Times - Daily circulation of 1,500,000 copies -An International Publication.

Their songs are compelling, breathtaking, and instantly gratifying—all the rightingredients for a stellar command of the country pop circuit.”- J. Sin(Smother Magazine)“The guys offer sharp and refined harmony and keen and tempered instrumentation. A bonus comes with Guynn’ssongwriting.

The Facebook pages also do very well as the communitycontinues to grow, and subscribe. The YouTube Channel has become a place where fans fromaround the world go for entertainment, and to interact with Bruce who adds new videos, andsong releases regularly. Instagram has also been added.What Music Reviewers Have Saying!Review – Indie Music Magazine - IndieMusic.comReview by Barney QuickQuote: "This is the kind of cleansing, welcoming music that makes listeners say, 'Oh, yeah! That stuff!I didn't realize how much I needed a big dose of that”. California music’s country aspect works best ifit serves a basically optimistic, warm, human view of life, and Big Rain delivers that generously.Lyrical themes of family, friendship, integrity, and a desire to see an end-product of life beyondmaterial gain infuse the songs on their latest, self-titled album on the Oak label. Bassist and leadvocalist Bruce Guynn writes most of the tunes. His affable voice is utterly devoid of affectation, like aneighbor hollering over the fence inviting you to join him on the porch for something cold to drink. Hissongwriting tends toward interesting combinations so that his creations are quite accessible but neverformulaic. The album leads with arguably the most vibrant cut, “Sweet Inspiration,” on which all theseelements come together with superb sparkle. The Everly Brothers would be proud of this update oftheir sound.Review – Angry Country Magazine – AngryCountryMagazine.ComReview by Christie BohorfoushAs for this writer, I am hooked. Big Rain is the most refreshing band that has come along in quitesome time. Indeed, the listener will hear old familiar sounds and everything from what will remind youof old 50's tunes to Latin inspired tunes to early rock sounds to soul. The question really is, "How didBig Rain manage to mix all of those influences into their sound, while still keeping a country edge?"Well, I cannot answer that question; but I can tell our readers that Big Rain brings a unique album ofmusic that must be heard. While Nashville continues to crank out cookie cutter artists, this bandbrings the listener something new and refreshing; while keeping its roots grounded in the oh sofamiliar past. It is rare when a debut album does not have a bad track on it; simply a must hear foranyone who loves country music with an edge!Review - Smother.net – MagazineReview by J. Sin – Smother Magazine Writer - Buy it from InSound-Get this on iTunesArming themselves with a lush Nashville sound complete with big vocal harmony parts, Big Rainseem poised to turn that corner on the race to mainstream liquidity. Indie country artists can be adime a dozen in some parts of the country but it’s rare that such powerful songwriters and performerscan all be found within the same group. As a trio, Big Rain almost seems to write and play at somehigh level as one super musician if you will. Their songs are compelling, breathtaking, and instantlygratifying. All the right ingredients for a stellar command of the country rock pop circuit.

Review – Country Stars Online – Magazine – CountryStarsOnline.comReview by George Peden, CSO Staff Journalist“The guys offer sharp and refined harmony and keen and tempered instrumentation. A bonus comeswith Guynn’s songwriting; and as added confirmation to the caliber of the tunes, the band has alreadycollared several envied placements on independent charts. They have also enjoyed scattered praisefrom music critics”. From the moment the laser centered on “Sweet Inspiration”, my curiosity enjoyedfurther reward. Not only is the hype right on the dollar, but it’s a scripted nod to the talent here. Theseguys–Bruce Guynn on lead vocals, bass and keyboards, Peter Alaimo, harmony, lead and rhythmguitars are a tight unit. In the musical mix adding to the harmony-driven trio is drummer ChetMcCracken. He’s best remembered as the man behind the skins with the Doobie Brothers. Steel,fiddle, and mandolin enjoy perfect pitch and play by respective talents, Doug Livingston, Bobby Furgoand Richie Podolor. Lead vocalist Bruce Guynn has a steady and even-tempered pitch, commandingand confident; he works his lyrics into an enjoyable listen. The rich harmony offered by his bandmates puts polish on tunes keenly crafted, well played and delivered, if not in a true country setting,then a soft rock alternative. Standout cuts: “Sweet Inspiration”, “December Night”, “I’m Breaking Out”and the James Chatterton-penned, “Las Vegas”Review – Blazing Boots Magazine – BlazingBoots.comThis album is full of strong melodies, which in itself is unusual these days, with song after song thatyou can’t help but like. There isn’t a weak track on this album, and you can dance to most of them. Ifthis band has a weakness I haven’t spotted it. They are a really sophisticated band with sophisticatedlyrics sung to a sophisticated sound. Great albums love it all, wish I was clever enough to understandit all, but hey great music and great harmonies don't really need to be understood do they.What Radio Worldwide Are Saying!“We are having a great run with “December Night”, and getting great listener response”.Lynn Pierce, Program Director, KVLV Radio, Fallon, NV“Now here’s a band that is on the verge of really breaking big time with their second single, (SweetInspiration). What a great song.” Independent Music Network, CA“Bruce Guynn, Big Rain's first single I’m Not Running is a great song and getting a lot of really good listenercall in responses”. Lee Richey-WCJW Radio- Warsaw, NY“I think the song “December Night” by Bruce Guynn is a perfect song. I can’t find anything wrong withit.”- Stan Edwards, The Bear, AZ“Great music and great voice.” Paul Johansen - Radio Sotra – Norway“I would be very honored if I could include the very great music you perform in my radio show. I havegotten the CD and Big Rain’s first track from the full length album is what I use at the moment. It’s areally great album and there are many tracks that I like a whole lot.
