Bruce believes that the job of a storyteller is first of all, to entertain, and then leave the audience with "food for thought ". He performs original family narratives about growing up in the Appalachian rural south, historical sketches and Bible-based stories. He also writes and performs custom stories for a wide range of events.

Bruce brings a depth of life experience to his original family narratives that have a healing and uplifting effect on those that hear them. He was diagnosed with acute leukemia at 11 years of age, after being treated by Tulane Medical Center in New Orleans, La. in 1964, he was sent home to face a bleak future.
