'''Simon Bruce''' (born [[19 May]] [[1985]]) is an [[Australian]] [[singer-songwriter]].
 
 
 
==Biography==
 
For a [[singer-songwriter]] who music journalists will dare to call "emerging", 21-year-old [[Simon Bruce]] has the poise and musical smarts of someone twice his age. This dark-haired young man is a rare find; he both knows his history and respects it, AND as evidenced by his debut album [[Restless Thoughts]], he's not afraid to use it.
 
 
 
After playing the 2002 [[South By Southwest]] [[Festival]] in [[Austin, Texas]] (the youngest ever musician to be invited there), Simon was granted an Outstanding Talent [[Visa]], where he spent much of his time touring the east and west coast including a high-profile support slot with [[John Hiatt]], and the greater part of 2004 in [[Nashville]]. Simon has certainly road-tested his original compositions with tons of live performances, including stints with [[DIDO]] and [[Bond]].
 
 
 
Which brings us then to the most recent chapter in Simon Bruce already-remarkable life,  the making of his album "[[Restless Thoughts]]", which follows on the footsteps of his successful independently-released [[EP]] "[[The Champagne Sessions]]", which was produced by [[Tommy Emmanuel]] and featured [[Keith Urban]] on [[backing vocals]].
 
 
 
Recorded live in just 3 days, (a method the young performer is adamant he will never change), Bruce's debut album, [[Restless Thoughts]], was laid to tape, "like in the 70s", Simon says.
 
 
 
At heart, "[[Restless Thoughts]]" is all about strong songs big on melody, playing filled with both contemporary spark and a strong sense of history, and lyrics that belie their creator's tender years. "Dylan to me is definitely what got me into words, made me want to think and write from different angles",  says Bruce.
 
I believe if you can carry the song by yourself with a guitar, that when you go in [to the studio], you're on", proffers Simon of the recording process.
 
And that's very much the feeling which prevails on [[Restless Thoughts]], an exceptional debut [[album]] which will appeal to music fans around the world, while sacrificing nothing in crossover appeal. "I may be young but I ain't no rookie," Simon Bruce sings on [[Turn Myself To Driftin]]. When you get to that part of [[Restless Thoughts]], be sure to turn it up real loud! Seldom have truer words been spoken.

Template:Speedy deletion templates

This template is used to tag pages for speedy deletion under the speedy deletion criteria, specifically CSD A7. There is a separate template for each criterion – see the table to the right.

This template places the page into the categories: Candidates for speedy deletion, and Candidates for speedy deletion as importance or significance not asserted.

Usage

The template should be placed at the top of the page to be deleted.

Parameters

{{db-band}}

This is the most basic form of the template.

{{db-band|bot=ExampleBot}}

Bot accounts will specify the |bot= parameter to notify the reviewing admin that the page was tagged by an automated process.

{{db-band|TypeOfEntity}}

Where TypeOfEntity is the type of subject the article is about (band, company, website, etc). Please ensure that the entity is one of those listed in the CSD criterion, and consider instead using one of the more specific templates listed below. Note that books, albums, software etc., or schools, are specifically not allowed under this criterion.

Author notification

If you nominate a page for deletion under this criterion, please consider placing the following code:

{{subst:db-notability-notice|PageName|header=1}}

...on the User talk page of the main contributor(s) to the page, replacing PageName with the name of the page being marked for deletion. This will display the following user warning template:

==Speedy deletion nomination of [[:{{{1}}}]]==

Template:Quote box A tag has been placed on [[:{{{1}}}]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by [[:{{{1}}}|visiting the page]] and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the Template:Querylink.
